I've been to Athens. I have done side trips from Athens. Still, I love Rick Steve's work and I found this interesting! He visited some of the places I've seen, but frankly, he made me want to see them again. This was a fun watch!

One of the places I haven't been that he mentioned is Hydra. Such a cool-looking place.

I have never been to Greece in winter and I was considering it. I found this video - it was very informative! Thought I'd share:

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?

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!

I am visiting Athens and want a feel for where to go that pertains to Greek mythology.Of course, the Acropolis is on my list, but I wish to explore other places related to gods, goddesses, heroes, and their legendary tales as well.

For those of you who have ventured on similar quests or possess knowledge about Greek mythology's physical footprints in Athens, could you recommend:

Must-visit sites that are deeply connected to Greek mythology.
Any lesser-known locations that offer a unique insight into the myths.
Tips for making the most out of these visits (best time to go, how to avoid crowds, etc.).
Any resources (books, guides, websites) that could help deepen my understanding of the myths associated with these sites.

I’m extremely excited about this trip and looking forward to your recommendations and insights! Thanks!
