Happy travels, F&C Family!! 😊❤️🎉
Thanks a lot. This is very helpful.
You pack a lot of great information in that 21 minute video, thanks so much.
Thank you KevIRL 😊❤️🙏🏽 Happy to provide helpful info for your next trip!
2.5 wks in Greece end of May, can't wait! Seeing Santorini, Naxos, Paros, Nafplio, Meteora & 3 days in Athens!
OMG Lorirev - It looks like you have an amazing itinerary for Greece! I’m excited for you 😊 👏🏽❤️
This was a great video. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips. I have a trip planned in June.
Wonderful and helpful video with full required content . Watching from India.
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!🙂❤️
Thank you very much, very informative.
You’re welcome, thank YOU for watching 😊👍🏽
Thank you so much for your videos. Very good content. We've been using your videos to prepare for our trip to Athens and Santorini. Please keep them coming. 👍🏾
Thank you Amanda & Shane! This is truly the best compliment I could receive 😁🥰 Are you planning your Greece trip this spring, summer, fall?
@FrolicAndCourage We are leaving April 29th. Our first destination is Santorini. We will be there for four days. Then we go to Athens. And thanks to your videos we know how we should get around and what to expect.
@hangin_with_the_elders that’s within the next two weeks - how exciting! First Santorini then Athens? What an amazing trip to Greece 🇬🇷 I hope you both have the best time and enjoy all that Greece has to offer 😃
Any sim card recommendations? Thanks very informative video.
Hey J! I don’t usually purchase SIM cards, but checkout Vodaphone, Cosmote, Wind, Airalo, and Orange for Greece coverage. The first three are the three major wireless Carrie’s in the country 👍🏽😊
Great video. Visiting via cruise in September. Visiting Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, and Olympia
Thanks Dee! Sounds like an amazing Greek islands cruise is coming up in less than 6 months 🚢 😁🎉 I originally wanted to visit via cruise (Mediterranean + Greek Islands Cruise) but as it turns out, we did the Mediterranean via cruise and Athens by land.
Thank you for such a thorough video!! These tips are so handy for our first trip upcoming in October 2024!! Also subscribed!!
Happy to help and welcome to the F&C family! 😊🎉
You’re going to Athens the same month we did and I’m so excited for you! What are you most looking forward to seeing/doing in your trip?
A good, informative video.
Thank you, Anna 😊 I'm glad you found the video informative. If you have any questions or suggestions for future content, feel free to let me know! 👍🏽❤️
@@FrolicAndCourage Do you have Dubai on you bucket list?
@annamartin3489 I sure do…and I also recently scratched it off my list 😉 coming early summer!
Another amazing vlog, keep them coming and tell hubby I said hello, much love ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Valerie! How have you been this week? 😊
@@FrolicAndCourage I'm ok I'm getting over the lost of my sister,but I'm getting better and you
@valeriegriffith3415 I’m so sorry to hear that, Valerie - I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏽 May the positive memories and love you have for your sister get you through these times ❤️
Hi, I'm going to Athens in May. I'm going alone and have booked onto a few group tours. I hope I'll be ok and not the only lone traveller... Haha. I'm kinda regretting going by myself. What do you think?
Hey James! I think you’ll be just fine 😊 Group tours are a great way to meet people and learn more about Athens - culture, history, and food - and get great recommendations for what to see and eat from a local! I LOVE solo travel because you get to do what you want, when you want and follow your own interests. I’m excited for you 😁 Which tour are you most looking forward to?
@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you! Day 1 e-bike tour, day 2 food tasting tour, day 3 Acropolis, day 5 Philosophy walk & talk. I'm staying 7 days so will also check out a beach or two. And I'll be making sure to check out your vidz also 👍🙂
@@FrolicAndCourage ...my biggest worry is what to do in the evenings, alone
What a great schedule! The philosophy walk and talk seems like it will be an enriching experience 📚 Thankfully Athenians eat late so you might be at a cozy Taverna until the morning listening to live music or eating something delicious 😋
@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you. It will be great. I can't wait ✌️
The combined ticket for the archeological sites is no longer offered as of April 1, 2024.
Still have it since I purchased the combo tickets after 4/1/24 :)
@siusiu143 that’s awesome! 👏🏽
Any rent a car recommendations
Hey EJ - I don’t have any rental car recommendations (we didn’t rent a car and it isn’t necessary if you’re only going to stay in the city), but if you do a quick Google search there are a lot of rental companies to choose from at the airport. Also, check out this great article by Santorini Dave: santorinidave.com/rent-car-athens-airport 👍🏽🚗
I am using Sixt. I never had issues with them in EU. I will go to Greece end of June and have booked a car with Sixt from Athens. A car is not recommended in Athens itself (parking issues).
