Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@astridkarmacakes1050]

TY for the visit down Memory Lane! 😊 Did Athens and parts of Greece upon graduation of University during my travels - returned MANY times ,for as you say - a few days is NOT enough!
In fact , several trips are not enough!!! 😆 The people ,food ,sites and atmosphere are THAT enjoyable💖

[@JohnDoe-wg9oh]

Excellent summary of Athens, where I spent more than 10 years in the past. One thing to add: while there is a 50% reduced price for children (yes, all children, not just Greek ones!) in public transport, it is impossible for tourists to use it because the vending machines do not offer it, and you need to get the person registered, with passport, in order to get a permanent card and the "preload" it with some credit. This is only possible in very few stations, not at the machines, and the process is completely obscure to a tourist.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. This is great piece of information. Appreciated.

[@DrummerChristianHoffe]

[@emmanouilachladiotis5272]

Try also pastitsio. Something like mousaka but its Pasta bechamel. If well made as my grandma makes it its delicious 😊

[@jjgreek1]

One needs at least two weeks to really get to know Athens

[@athenarockabilly6245]

Still not enough time you need a lifetime

[@sylviachristodoulou7339]

❤

[@mariemacinnes7627]

Great info, thanks! We just booked
5 nights/4 full days end of Oct/early Nov....I'm starting to feel I overdid it...? Hopefully the weather will be nice so we can go to Hydra, etc, otherwise I'm not sure how to fill the days😮. Well done on speaking English so well and very clear and understandable!

[@Wriwnas1]

There is plenty more to do in Athens, especially if you like museums and typically in Oct/Nov the weather is still warm.

[@mariemacinnes7627]

@@Wriwnas1 yes, I now feel differently after researching more, so much to see and foods and snacks to try! I'm really looking forward to it!

[@bobcampo4742]

You mentioned in this video to buy a ticket the will let you in all the attractions. Where would I purchase this? Can I do so online? Great video! Very Helpful.

[@spruceleee]

At the attractions for 30 euro.

[@Nahuel923]

Share the restaurant where you tried those dolmades

[@sleepnomore6065]

Great vid but please SLOW DOWN when you list towns! At the start and 4:46 is to quick to understand or recall

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks 🤗 Noted for the next time.

[@jjgreek1]

I would recommend you stay in Pagrati…all the rest you mention are highly touristic

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for your tip.

[@doodsanddudes]

Can I take my drone there?

[@SandraHof]

I am meeting my friends from the States in Athens next month to go on a Greek Isle cruise. I recently learned about the toilet paper thing. Unbelievable for me that many former oppressed Soviet countries, such as Czechoslovakia, Ukraine, Poland and Hungary, are more advanced in their infrastructure than Greece. They caught up to western Europe within a decade or two of the USSR dissolving. Come on, Greece!😅

[@pissupehelwan]

It is because of a pre-existing ancient sewage system from ages ago. It is much easier to start from a clean slate than fix hundreds of miles of subterrainian plumbing.

[@deannatheos4471]

I lived in Athens for 7 months and I am glad you mentioned don't put toilet paper in the toilet. I wish they would take care of that problem why is it like that everyone else puts it in the toilet. I have hurd everything from poorly trained plummers to poorly make tiolets what's the deal on that one please have a good day.

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks. You are right, it is a weird mystery.

[@Yiannis2112]

Three words. Narrow sewage pipes.

[@killbill1175]

Very nice video but do me a favor we don't have the "sh" in our language. So ending of the words with an S sound like "ss" exv..mess .lol

[@rokgoesaround]

Thanks for letting me know. I tried my best, but will do better next time.
