Parthenon Busy Mid-September?

I'm planning a trip to Athens in mid-September and I'm particularly excited about visiting the Parthenon and the surrounding area. However, I’m a bit concerned about how busy it might be during that time of year. I know the Parthenon is one of the most popular attractions in Athens, and I’m trying to avoid large crowds if possible.

For those who have visited Athens around mid-September, could you share your experience? Was the Parthenon area crowded, and if so, at what times of day was it busiest? Would you recommend going early in the morning, or are there other strategies to enjoy the site with fewer tourists around? Any advice on what to expect and how to make the most of the visit would be greatly appreciated.

Parks to visit in Athens?

I'm planning a trip to Athens and would love to spend some time in the city's parks. Can anyone recommend the best parks to visit? I'm looking for places that offer a relaxing atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and maybe some historical significance. It would be great to find parks with nice walking paths, picnic spots, and perhaps playgrounds for kids. Any tips on hidden gems or lesser-known green spaces would be greatly appreciated.

Also, if there are any specific times of day or year when the parks are particularly lovely, please let me know. Thanks!

Advice for an Athens City Tour?

Last time I was in Athens, I did the hop on hop off as my city tour. I like those because you can get on and off at your leisure and use it as a way to get around the city.

I am going to be in Athens again, and I want to do a different type of tour this time. Maybe something historical. Do you guys have any recommendations?

I have done a straight up tour of the Acropolis, I was looking for something a bit more expansive.

Is the Benaki Museum in Athens Worth Visiting?

I'm planning a trip to Athens and compiling a list of must-see places. I came across the Benaki Museum, and it caught my interest. From what I've gathered, it seems like a place rich in Greek history and culture, housing a diverse collection that spans the ages.

However, I'm trying to manage my time in Athens effectively since there's so much to see and do. For those who have visited the Benaki Museum, would you say it's a worthwhile addition to my itinerary? I'm particularly keen on understanding if its collections are uniquely representative of Greek heritage in ways that other museums in the city might not offer.

I'd love to hear about personal experiences, favorite exhibits, or even tips for visiting (best times to go, any particular tours, etc.). Your feedback will be immensely valuable in helping me decide!

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts and insights.

Athens Day Trips?

I’m planning a trip to Athens and would love some advice on the best day trips to take from the city. I’ll have a few extra days in my itinerary, and I want to explore some of the beautiful areas around Athens.

I’ve heard about places like Delphi, Cape Sounion, and Nafplio, but I’m unsure which ones are worth the trip. I’m particularly interested in a mix of history, stunning landscapes, and maybe even some beach time if possible. I’ll be relying on public transport or tours, so any recommendations on how to get around would also be appreciated.

Are there any hidden gems or lesser-known spots that I should consider? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you have for making the most of these excursions.
