This is by far the only useful and completely informative tour guide I watched in yt. everything I was looking for was in this video. Good job. Definitely subscribed.
Coming from a Greek guy, this is hands down the BEST tour someone has done in a day in Athens, showcasing the beauty and complexity of it. My friend your passion is obvious, the only thing I would change is that you should try a Greek pita Gyro... You can't leave from Athens without having one!!! Good Job!!
4o hours only: Staying in the city center, just site seeing the cherishing the ancient world. I am walking everywhere and only site seeing and enjoying the views and food of the city. No day trips or cruises this go around. @@TheTourGuyVids
Thank you, I want to travel to Athens before I get too old! I have wanted to go for my entire life. This reassures me. I am so appreciative. Thank you! I'd like to go in the spring! But I will spend five days.
I am preparing for a trip to Greece, and this has been by far the BEST video! So very many great ideas/recommendations. Will definitely sign up for the Skip-the-Line and Food tours. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoyed this video. Love the mix of information about sites, short history brief and really appreciated the inclusion of maps and info about transportation re: airport, Piraeus, city centre. Great visuals, easy to follow. Very useful!
One of the best videos Where have you been?! This is one of the best travel videos I've seen! Love your format & presentation. I've been to Athens a few times but I love seeing new content for future visits!
Thanks for informative video. You say certain rides are set rates cabs o my or Uber as well? These set prices per person or vehicle say from airport to Plaka or city center to Piraeus ? Appreciate clarification.
What was the name and location of that wonderful bar/restaurant with the live music at the end of video, we going to Athens in a couple of days and that looked fabulous 😊
Please watch again as I say the name and we show the outside of the restaurant with the name on it. I would highly recommend there for the food and the atmosphere
Thanks for sharing this! I'm earning for my trip to Greece now. 😊 It's one of my dream place to go since I was a teen. The mythical history, architecture and culture really interest me. Can't wait to go there 😊
I have a ferry from athens, piraeus to santorini on 28th oct, 2024 at 7.30am. Will it be possible to take any public transport from Acropolis area to Piraeus to catch the ferry or everything will be closed that day due to Holiday. Including the ferries.
The ceremony happens daily every hour. On Syndays, you have marching bands and closed roads just so visitors can gather and take pictures. It is a fairly new thing, sort of a touristy attraction they chose to make.@@nelson6236
Changing of the guard is every hour 24/7,Sunday or special occasions is the full parade qnd band where they are in the traditional white uniform. In my opinion this is a must to see if your there on a Sunday
@@TheTourGuyVidsOf course, I'm crying because I wish I was still there 😅. I stayed in Athens, Hydra and Nafplio (with daytrips to Mykines and Epidavros). The first week I was there, it rained a lot, there were floods in some places in Greece. Luckily I was in Athens and not at a beach destination, so I don't mind getting wet for sightseeing and museum days.
The chart of Greece you show in your video from 0:58 to 1:17 depicts the Greek islands of Samos and Lesbos in red, which makes it appear as if they belong to Turkey. These islands are Greek islands, and under normal circumstances, this wouldn't be a problem. However, it is an issue in this case because Turkey illegally claims that these islands belong to Turkey. Therefore, it is necessary to correct this mistake.
Good for you. But easiest is a matter of an opinion. For example if you have a bunch of luggage and elderly grandparents, you are probably going to want to take a taxi from Central Athens. Thanks for the comment
You do a VERY good job in your videos. One point of rub and in my opinion a MASSIVE mistake. The map you have included designates Greek islands as part of Turkey. This needs fixed . It is inaccurate and strikes at the core of political, cultural and historical issues. I lived on one of those island a few years back and I assure you it is as Greek as it gets. Please fix.
Great video. Is Tavern Klimataria in a safe place for night time? I see its in the neighborhood that I've been warned that has the drug addicts and homeless people.
Do you want to take proper precautions in Athens as you would in any major metropolitan city in the world. I didn’t see any drug addicts or homeless people and walk there from my hotel. Also, as you see in the video, the restaurant was full of other people.
As a Persian not too many historical places amazed me because once you visit Perspolis and research about the meaning of arts on the walls which is like story nothing will amazed you more believe me 😊 actually maybe Egypt history amazes you a bit as well
@@TheTourGuyVids give a try to Iran you will love it if you are history lover specially in spring 🌸 21th of march is Persians new year and everywhere is beautiful

Of course I’m a foreigner, I’m not Greek or from Athens. We define the acropolis at 2:59 which you should re-watch. The Parthenon is one of many structures on the hill.

These islands are Greek.

Thanks Luke. I’m sure you will get back there real soon.

Thanks so much. This makes us happy to hear. We had Gyro on the food tour but it didn't make the final cut of the video.
I would not have spat the olive pit back on the guy's scooper. That was nasty.
Another place on my bucket list! So glad you made a vid of Athens!
Do it Rusty. Carpe Diem!
Great Vid Angel- The Acropolis is still my favorite!

Visiting Athens next March...is it true that the changing of the guards ceremony only happens on Sundays?
Why do you say that? I went on a Wednesday.
@@TheTourGuyVids Just from articles I've read...they obviously change guards regularly but main ceremony occurs on Sunday at 11 am is what I've read

HI WHERE DID YOU FIND IT? THIS WRONG MAP IS SADLY WRONG !!! AND PLEASE FIX IT . - IF YOU DON'T FIX IT YOU HAVE DONE IT ON INTENTION
I noticed too. Many islands wrongly labeled as not part of Greece. Apart from the incorrect map, great video about the highlights of Athens.
0:54 wrong map! The greek islands are in red colour. Please change that. It is a mistake i hope

As a greek, one day ain’t enough in Athens lmao. You need at least 3 days.
completely agree 👍🏼 this is just our ideal day in Athens. What do you suggest on day two or three?
The acropolis is the hill. The Parthenon is the ancient column structure. This is how you stand out as a Xeni (foreigner).
Of course I’m a foreigner, I’m not Greek or from Athens. We define the acropolis at 2:59 which you should re-watch. The Parthenon is one of many structures on the hill.

Why Acropolis don't have Toilet??......
It’s Greek to me!
Don't drive here! Also the marble sidewalks are very slippery even when dry!
if you do not know where Greece is and what area it belongs to, do not draw maps because you are exposing yourself.
Athens is a very boring city . Only thing you can see is acropolis. Rest is just a concrete jungle. There is really nothing interesting to see.
A tourist is someone who brings their own expectations and demands to a destination. A traveler is someone who opens themselves up to what the destination wants to show them.

Did you buy it from the Turks😂😂😂😂😂😂!
