Travel tips for the city of Athens!
From the Port, it takes 20 minutes to drive to the city of Athens. If you wanted to explore Athens on your own, it'll take 1 hour by subway or 40 minutes by bus.
I don't think that's worth it. I would probably take a taxi instead. It should cost about 9 euros each way.
Once you somehow get your way in Athens the city is really walkable. All the popular sites are pretty close to one another.
Because of that, after the tour I felt like I could have explored Athens on my own and saved the money. But I'll let you judge the experience. Our tour cost 95 euros/person.
Top Sights in Athens, Greece:
1) Acropolis
If the line is long, they also have another entrance in the south side that is away from the parking lot so it much fewer people. Tickets for Acropolis is 20 euros a person.
Once you get in it is a little hike up to the top of Acropolis.
Located on the southwest slope of Acropolis is this stone theatre built in 161 AD. This theatre holds 5,000 people and was used for music concerts.
2) Parthenon
The most famous building in the citadel is the Parthenon. It is a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.
3) Erechtheion
This is a Greek temple on the north side of Acropolis dedicated to Athena and Poseidon. On the south side of the building is the famous Porch of the Maidens with six female figures as supporting columns.
4) Hadrian's Gate
It was built to celebrate the arrival of the Roman emperor Hadrian. It's kind of like the roman triumphal arches. It is made out of Pentelic marble. This is the same marble used for the Parthenon.
5) Temple of Olympian Zeus
Don't waste your money going into to see the Temple of Olympian Zeus as you can actually see it for free outside the gates. If you want to walk in and admire just how tall these pillars are the entrance fee is 6 euros.
6) Panathenaic Stadium
Next stop: This multipurpose stadium is huge! It is the only stadium in the world built entirely out of marble. It used to be built out of limestone. Marble was used in 144 AD.
7) Athen's White House
I'm here visiting the white house of Greece, but I haven't even visited my own country's White House. It was built in 1897 for Prince Constantine I. Now it is the official residence of the president of the Hellenic Republic.
8) Changing of the Presidential Guards
From here you can see the changing of the presidential guards. Like the guards, in London they also can't make any facial or eye movements and must not show any expression.
9) The Academy of Athens
This building is divided into three orders: Natural Sciences, Letters and Arts, and Moral and Political Sciences.
10) Plaka
Next stop: Plaka. It's an old historical neighborhood of Athens. It is known as the neighborhood of the Gods because it's really close to Acropolis and archaeological sites. The entire area is closed to cars. Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics.

Omonia Athens: Walking Tour Of Omonia Square And Metro Station
Omonia Athens: This is a walking tour starting in the Omonia Metro Station in Athens Greece. I walk around Omonia Square in the day when it is less dangerous. Omonia Athens is dangerous at night with much crime, drugs and homeless people. I do not recommend walking around Omonia at night.
Athens (Greece) Travel - Public Transportation
Birgit shows you the best transport options from Athens to Greek Islands.
Most visitors in Greece visit the islands from Athens. Piraeus Harbor in Athens is really the hub, where are all boats and ferries take off to the islands. I will show you how to get to Piraeus from within Athens. Although you can take a taxi from anywhere within the city, the local metro is a more popular option, and a better choice. It is efficient, cheaper, and faster. You identify a train station by this sign. We will take off from the Syntagma Station. Syntagma Square is located in Central Athens, right next to the Parliament Building. We started on the blue line at Syntagma, heading towards Egaleo, and switched to the green line a Monastiraki, heading toward Piraeus, our final destination.
Buying a ticket is easy. You can buy a single fare ticket like I'm gonna buy now, or a 90 minute ticket, which includes transfers on public bus transportation. You validate your ticket here. Trains run every couple of minutes, and they start at 6 in the morning. You'll find maps in the metro station, and on the train. Make sure to hold onto your ticket for your entire journey. Give yourself an hour to get to the port. As you can see, the port is really big. There is a free bus inside of the port, that allows you to get to the further places faster. It is wise to buy your tickets a couple days in advance. But the boating schedules are subject to change. So confirm with the local newspaper the day of your departure. You can buy tickets from different boat companies along this road. I am Birgit, showing you Athens.

Piraeus Ferry Port in Athens Greece 2

Athéni kirándulás 2018 | Trip to Athen 2018
Athén hirtelen ötlet volt, de nem bántuk meg. Rómához hasonlóan Athén is a történelem maga. A látnivalókra 4 nap is kevés volt, így biztosan visszatérünk még ide.
Mi az amit ne hagyj ki (a kötelező látványosságokon kívül): a csodálatos ingyenes, nyitott parkokat, a kis eldugott kápolnákat és a helyi gyrost.
Athen was a random idea as a travel destination but we did not regret it. Just like Rome Athen is the history itself. 4 days for seeing everything is not enough, so we will definitely go back again.
Which are the must-see places (except the mandatory ones): amazing, huge, free and open parks; hidden, nice chapels and the local gyros.
