A six-hour visual meditation event in the Athens Concert Hall does sound intriguing. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in a calming and enlightening experience while possibly meeting wonderful people who share your interests.

Very much,I love these.I have done many silent meditations here in Thailand for days on end, even without mobile and computer or internet!... Not easy but manageable,the brain goes for a roller coaster for a long time before it quietens and becomes calm!
 
If anyone from the community attends, I'd love to hear about your personal insights and how the event impacted you. I can imagine the serene ambiance, the play of lights, and the soothing sounds all coming together to create a unique atmosphere for introspection and relaxation. These types of events can be transformative, offering a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Speaking of events, I can relate to the challenges of organizing them. It's a complex process that requires attention to detail and the coordination of various elements. That's why I often turn to professionals like Hollywood Event Sound Production. Their expertise can truly elevate the overall experience, ensuring everything goes smoothly and attendees have a memorable time.

Tips for saving money in Athens?

I'm planning a trip to Athens and though I'm excited, I'm also trying to be mindful of my budget. The charm of historical sites like the Acropolis, the Plaka district, and experiencing the vibrant Greek culture is something I cannot put a price tag on. However, I am looking for ways to stretch my euros further while enjoying what Athens has to offer.

Does anyone have tips or personal experiences to share on saving money while traveling in Athens?

Visiting Mount Lycabettus Question

I have never been to Mount Lycabettus, although I've been to Athens a handful of times - it just never came up to go here.

Here are some questions I have:

A few specific questions I have include:
  • What's the best time of day to visit Mount Lycabettus? Is it good at sunset?
  • Are there any hiking trails that you'd recommend?
  • How difficult is the trek up the hill? Is it suitable for beginners or those not used to hiking?
  • Is the funicular railway worth the ride, or is it better to walk?
  • Are there any facilities (like cafes or restrooms) available at the top or along the way?
  • Do you have any safety tips or things to watch out for?
Thanks in advance!

Unique Photo Spots in Athens?

I will be traveling to Athens this year in the spring. What are some great photo spots throughout the city? Aside from what inspires me?

I have a bad habit of forgetting to take pics while away and I come back from the vacation with a random collection. This time, I want to do some advanced planning. Some of my ideas:

- Parthenon/ Acropolis - A shot with people and the Parthenon in the background
- Food photos - plenty of shots with people - and table shots - and of myself - eating the delicious food
- Monastiraki - This place is full of life - there could be some great candid shots

Do you guys have any ideas?
