As a Greek i have to say that you made an almost perfect depiction of Athens and its most well known neighbourhoods , especially the Anafiotika region which clearly impressed me. Good job Sir.
Finally a down to earth and honest commentator. I appreciate you showing the positives and negatives while also being well spoken and concise in your statements. Big thumbs up from me.
That kind of comment means so much to me! Thank you! I do my best to provide an accurate picture of a place, at least in terms of the way that I see it!
This travel video was so PERFECT. I wish others had the professionalism, thorough and personal perfection that you have. I've been through so many travel videos over the years and this is at or near the top. NICE WORK and THANK YOU.
That is such a nice thing for you to say! I am so glad that you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment!
This was great. Most videos I've seen about Athens ONLY go to the tourist places and it's so tiresome. Thank you for showcasing how Athens is actually like.
These are still tourist neighborhoods in my opinion as they are all located in central Athens. There are many more much nicer suburbs that most tourists would never visit but you have to leave the city centre.
The Omonia neighborhood, up until the financial crisis of 2010-2011, used to be an area with many shops and micro malls, the "Stoa" as we call them. During the financial crisis, many of the shops closed down, and the area started to be abandoned by the locals. Then immigrants began to arrive, along with drug addicts, because they could find cheap apartments for rent. After the end of the crisis, when tourism started to grow rapidly in Athens, the municipality of Athens began to plan the recreation of Omonia Square. We believe that in a few years from now, Omonia will be back on its feet again.
Α compact, yet comprehensive look at so many parts of the city in just over 18 minutes! That was cool (and not as easy as it looks)! Congrats (from an athenian)!
@@oldaloneandfarfromhome Your videos are really good: you provide some basic info (without overcharging them with useless details) and, at the same time, you keep a humble and friendly profile without looking narcissistic, as many other travel vloggers do. Keep on this way!!
That is so nice of you! I plan on returning one day. My brother and sister-in-law also fell in love with the place during their two weeks in the city! Thank you for watching!
You NAILED IT! Hands down the best overview of Athens that I have seen on UA-cam. And I especially appreciated that you did not overplay the negative aspects of the city, which , of course are present there and pretty much every large city in the world
Thank you so much! I worked really hard to get to as many parts of the city as I could. Even then, I am sure that I could have included more neighborhoods and more places. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Hello from Denmark, A truly enjoyable and well presented look at areas of Athens we have never visited but most certainly will be checking out in our next and future visits. Thank you very much for the inspiration.
I’m moving to Athens from Nashville TN and your video is very helpful. I appreciate all you do. I just don’t know which neighborhood to pick. i subscribed and look forward to your future videos.
@@oldaloneandfarfromhome I’m looking forward to your Istanbul video. I’ve visited both Athens and Istanbul and wish I had seen your video before I went. I’m definitely a fan of your style!
Nice video, I have been to Athens many times. However we just returned from a trip to Greece. In Athens the first neighbourhood we stayed in was Kolonaki, very nice area and amazing view over the city. The last area we stayed in was Koukaki which was a very young and "hip" place, lots of great places to eat and have coffee or a drink. Thanks for your video gives me some ideas for the next trip (which is next year).
Ζω και εργάζομαι στην γερμανία κατάγομαι όμως από την αθήνα καί παρακολουθώ πολλά βίντεο γυρισμένα στην αθήνα διότι αγαπώ τον τόπο μου ωστόσο όμως το βίντεό σας είναι καταπληκτικό, συγχαρητήρια πολλά
Missed the newer middle class and affluent areas such as Kifisia in the north along with the coastal suburbs east of the city center such as Glyfada, Vari, Vouliagmeni...the Athenean Riviera. Overall a good video of the city center.
Thank you for that! I heard good things about Kifisia, but I never got a chance to visit. It was after I left, that I learned that Glyfada and the other towns along the Athenean Riviera deserved attention too. There is always next time!
I like Sepolia too. I considered moving there because years ago it was affordable, but I ended up buying in Kaisariani. I can't wait for the new Metro line. Thank you for this video, it was very informative.
Another great video from OAAFFH! You sure got to see a lot of Athens during your 5 weeks there. It seems there are so many things to do there, and I'm sure you enjoyed attending the Athens Beer weekend (Christmas edition)! Thanks for sharing about your stay.
I really enjoyed your grass roots appreciation of Athens. Your respect and affection for the city and its people is evident. Beyond that, your oversight is informative and I expect useful also when my husband and I finally make to Greece from Australia. Thank you
Thank you! There is so much to like about Greece and Athens! It was such a pleasure to travel to all the different parts of the city. You are going to love Greece! I am excited for you!
Greece is the birthplace of democracy and European, and therefore American and world civilization as a whole. And a beautiful country! The Netherlands is a modern, highly developed country! All of Europe is beautiful! I love Europe! Hello everyone from America!
I am excited for you! The metro is perfect. It will take you to all of the places that I visited. Get the five-day card and you can ride as much as you want during that time period. For five days it is less than $10 USD. Have a great time!
We stayed for three nights at a hotel (beside an adult theatre) just off Omonia in 2019 and I never felt threatened, even when coming home on foot from a night out at 1 or 2 in the morning after listening to music in the Plaka.
Thank you for this. I am passionate about ancient ruins, but we are looking forward to our first visit to Greece being one week in Athens (our hotel in Psirri). This helps me plan all our walking excursions. This is wonderful!
Tripodon holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest street in Athens and throughout Europe and has kept the same name for almost 25 centuries. It is in the Plaka.
Thank you ❤ Greek parents i had was born in Belgium and have never been to Greece. Have to admit you have shown me the truth and the beauty of Greece. I am looking forward to seeing Sparta and Kithira where my parents came from. I still hear my mum saying when she was young, she loved Athens ❤ Australia 💕 Christina
I was born in Sparta and left at the age of seven only went back there 2 times now almost 70 years old I seat in front of a computer and see all those beautiful places I never saw and I sit here with tears in my eyes .
@democracysaved2577 Hello ❤️ Funny you said you left Sparta at 7 at the same time I came to Australia when I was 7 🤭 1967 Why the tears? At least you had a chance to revisit a few times and put you feet on the grounds. I can only dream about it 🤭 Christina 💕 Australia
yes, i absolutely agree...the video uploaded here is undoubtedly one of the best about athens i've seen so far. could easily be used as sorta video guide for a future trip
This was a very informative video with new areas highlighted. We are making reservations in one of them. We are just starting our slow travels and are looking for quality gear. We have been looking for a good rain jacket and noticed yours. Would you recommend it and what kind is it? Thanks, Tom
Thank you for the kind words! Sorry that I didn't get back to you sooner. I had to access my jacket to find out exactly the brand and type. It is a Black Diamond Stormline Stretch Rain Shell.

Thank you and I've come to realize that I truly missed out by not going to Kifisia. It seems like a place that I would have really enjoyed. Thank you for watching and for the suggestion!
Great video, very interesting and pleasant to watch! It's clear and joyful, it really makes us wanna watch the whole episode 😊 Just subscribed. If there was a way for you to add French subtitles it would be amazing, I know some people that would be very interested!

"there are many other places that i never even had a chance to visit", this is a key phrase for every visitor. Athens is not the Acropolis only.. a lot of things are waiting to be discovered yet in the area. Think of it as a treasure hunt!!!
Excellent information for a first time visitor. What’s the best area for hotel stay in December? Visiting for a week. Arriving December last week in December. Staying for NYE. TIA.
If you are going to be in Athens for just a short time, I would recommend the Plaka neighborhood. That's especially good for a first-time visitor and puts you close to all of the attractions that you will want to see. Even then, jump on the metro a time or two and check out some of the other neighborhoods. I hope you have a fantastic time! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment.
I was born in Australia and spent 12 years in Sepolia ( Σεπόλια ) Athens back in 1975. It's one of few typical Greek middle-class neighbourhoods not influenced with multicultural migration. It's very important for Greek people to know interact & mingle with their neighbours. As it was said to me in 2018 ( έχει γειτονιά ακόμη ). The neighbourhood still exists.
I think the one you are talking about is Mikel Coffee in Sepolia. That has an address listed as Dyrrachiou 59. I hope that helps and thank you for watching!
You are welcome! I use GoPro cameras. This video was shot on the Hero 11 Black. The image quality, the built in stabilization and the cost make it hard to beat when you are traveling light.
I have especially heard great things about Glyfada. There are certainly many more great places in Athens that I didn't get a chance to visit. Thank you for watching!
This is a travel blog, so I talk about the places that I visit. I realize that there might be parts of the city, where it is inadvisable to travel. Such is the case with virtually every metropolis.
Greece as we know it today was formed in 1831 thats why you will never see a map that says greece before then. Greece in latin means combination of countries which it is. The hellenic people down south have been there for a long time and know greece is a modern country as it stands today. But even athens is built by the romans. Beautiful place
Had you taken your medicine before commenting ? Ancient Athens my illiterate friend was built many-many Centuries before Roman Empire conquered the region.
Your ignorance is overwhelming! According to you "Greece is a combination of different countries?" I suggest that you must prepare your Dissertation with these brand-new "research" and "ideas" and please do submit it to the Faculty of the famous Harvard University. For sure, you will be awarded the PhD Degree "in Advanced (Turkish/Albanian/Slavo-Skopian choose your origin) Stupidity" !
Don't you feel remorse for your crimes against these innocent creatures? Don't you see that they love life like you and don't want to die? Don't you see how much they are afraid of dying and scream out of fear? Do you want someone to treat you and your family or loved ones like this? If you have an iota of compassion and conscience, stop this dirty work. (Eating meat is a crime) is the product of violence and murder, not food.🤬🤬

I would love for you to do a similar video about Rome if possible (if you haven’t already done one) thank you so much!

Thank you! There seem to be so many cool spots in Athens. It just means that I will have to return some day!
I remember back when Ermou was for cars. Way better now.
I remember when Ermou was not a pedestrian street. My sister and I would walk down from Pangrati to shop, especially during Christmas!
I'll bet those were very interesting times!
Thanks for including my neighborhood Sepolia in your video.

Kifisia and Glyfada are not classified as middle class suburbs more likely upper class suburbs.
It’s better to do a separate video for suburbs as they are not Athens neighborhoods like these.
I like Sepolia too. I considered moving there because years ago it was affordable, but I ended up buying in Kaisariani. I can't wait for the new Metro line.

Great video, thank you. Heading to Greece next week and will visit a few of these neighborhoods per your recommendation.
I appreciate the kind words! You will have a fantastic time in Greece. I can't wait to get back there!
Excellent video! Usually only the main sights but you’ve given great insights into different neighbourhoods!

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment!
Thank you for your video. What camera do you use ? the image is incredibly bright ;thanks
You are welcome!
I use GoPro cameras. This video was shot on the Hero 11 Black. The image quality, the built in stabilization and the cost make it hard to beat when you are traveling light.
@@oldaloneandfarfromhome Thank you very much !! :)
weeldone nice presentation of my neighbor
Wonderful for you to say! Thank you for watching!
Συγχαρητήρια! Ο άνδρας μου δεν κατάφερε να φτάσει στο επίπεδο σου στα ελληνικά μετά από 24 χρόνια γάμου.
Πίστεψέ με. Αν όχι για την εφαρμογή μετάφρασης μου, θα είχα χαθεί τελείως.
ευχαριστούμε που παρακολουθήσατε
A map would be helpful
I agree. I wish I had added one to this video!
Thank you for watching and thanks for the suggestion, as well.
Very good video. However I'm an Athenian and I avoid Omonoia like the plague. 😂
Thank you!
I understand. All I can talk about are my experiences. You have had much more exposure to the neighborhood than me.
Thank you for watching!
❤❤❤
God bless you and Ephcharisto
I appreciate that!
Ecxept Peiraius you did not mentioned the whole coast line of Athens . Faliro, Alimos, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni etc. The best places....
I didn't mention those towns along the coast, because I wasn't able to spend time there. It gives me a good reason to return one day!
Best GREECE -GR !
How could you not include Pagrati? 😢
Otherwise a good video.
There are many other neighborhoods that I would have loved to visit and could have been great additions to the video!
I will be nice if you added faliro, glyfada, vouliagmeni, varkiza
I have especially heard great things about Glyfada. There are certainly many more great places in Athens that I didn't get a chance to visit.
Thank you for watching!
Anyway, excellent video!
Those are not neighborhoods of Athens, however. They are their own towns.
I don’t go to Omonia nights🙏
I can understand that, although I never felt uncomfortable in the areas that I visited after dark.
There is much not to like about Athens. Just leave your 2 mile safe radius and walk westwards.
This is a travel blog, so I talk about the places that I visit. I realize that there might be parts of the city, where it is inadvisable to travel. Such is the case with virtually every metropolis.
Greece as we know it today was formed in 1831 thats why you will never see a map that says greece before then. Greece in latin means combination of countries which it is. The hellenic people down south have been there for a long time and know greece is a modern country as it stands today. But even athens is built by the romans. Beautiful place
Φοβερή μορφωση
Had you taken your medicine before commenting ?
Ancient Athens my illiterate friend was built many-many Centuries before Roman Empire conquered the region.
Your ignorance is overwhelming! According to you "Greece is a combination of different countries?"
I suggest that you must prepare your Dissertation with these brand-new "research" and "ideas" and please do submit it to the Faculty of the famous Harvard University. For sure, you will be awarded the PhD Degree "in Advanced (Turkish/Albanian/Slavo-Skopian choose your origin) Stupidity" !
I visited Athens and hated it, horrible time.
I have been warn to stay away deom Omionia
They all look the same
Literally recommending the worst areas 😂😭don't listen to this brudda
Tip from me: DON'T go to Athens. Except from 1-2 places, it's a complete SHITHOLE
Who say we want you to come
Animals are not our slaves or food please Go Vegan for them 💚🌱🙏
Animals are with us not for us. Please go vegan for life 💚🌱🙏
Don't you feel remorse for your crimes against these innocent creatures?
Don't you see that they love life like you and don't want to die?
Don't you see how much they are afraid of dying and scream out of fear?
Do you want someone to treat you and your family or loved ones like this?
If you have an iota of compassion and conscience, stop this dirty work.

is the product of violence and murder, not food.🤬🤬
