Hello! I suggest reaching out to anyone you know who's working or living in Greece/Athens. You never know who knows someone who can help you out or that works in marketing. In Greece, many people find jobs through word of mouth and people always hire friends of friends. It's not the most western way, but that's just how Greece works. If you don't know anyone, that's okay! You can also try looking for jobs on Linkedin and try searching by location. Good luck!
 
I’ve been looking into options too, and I found that with P72, the minimum income you can earn is $18,324. It’s legit and seems like a decent starting point, especially if you're new in Athens and just trying to get your foot in the door. I’d suggest checking them out if you haven’t already.

Historical Landmarks in Athens Over 3 Days?

I’ll be in Athens for just 3 days this summer and want to make the most of it by exploring the city’s rich history. There’s so much to see, and I’m a bit overwhelmed trying to prioritize!

Of course, the Acropolis and Parthenon are on my list, but I’d love your advice on other must-visit landmarks. Should I make time for the Ancient Agora or the Temple of Olympian Zeus? Is the Acropolis Museum worth it, or would you suggest something like the National Archaeological Museum instead?

I’m also curious about less touristy historical spots—are there any hidden gems or unique sites that tell the story of Athens’ past?

Visit the Plaka in Athens?

I’m planning a quick trip to Athens—just two days—and I’d love your advice on how to make the most of it. I’ve heard that Plaka is a great area to stay in, but is it the best choice for such a short visit? I’m looking for a central spot that makes it easy to explore the city’s highlights.

Is Plaka also a good place to find authentic restaurants? I’d love to try some traditional Greek food, so recommendations for hidden gems or must-try dishes in the area would be amazing.

Since I’ll be short on time, I’m trying to prioritize what’s really worth seeing and doing. Should I focus on the Acropolis and museums, or are there other spots in the city you’d recommend?

Visiting the Agora in Athens - Advice?

I’m planning a trip to Athens and definitely want to visit the Ancient Agora, but I’d love some tips to make the most of my time there.

For starters, what’s the best time of day to visit? I’ve heard it can get pretty busy and warm, so I’d like to avoid the crowds and heat if possible. Also, is there a specific entrance that’s better to start from?

Are there any must-see spots within the Agora I should prioritize? I’m particularly interested in ancient history and architecture, so I’d love recommendations for highlights like the Temple of Hephaestus or the Stoa of Attalos.

Lastly, are there any good guides (audio or in-person) you’d recommend, or is it better to explore on my own? Bonus points for tips on nearby cafés or restaurants for a post-visit meal!

Rooftop Dining Options by the Parthenon?

I’ve been to Athens several times and absolutely love the city, but I just realized I’ve never tried rooftop dining with a view of the Parthenon. I’d love to change that on my next trip!

Can anyone recommend some great rooftop restaurants or bars near the Acropolis where I can enjoy a fantastic meal (or even just a drink) with that iconic view? I’m open to different vibes—whether it’s casual and relaxed or more upscale and romantic.

Bonus points if the food is as good as the view, especially if they serve authentic Greek dishes or creative takes on traditional flavors. Also, any tips on whether reservations are needed or the best time to go for fewer crowds and the most stunning sunset views would be super helpful.

Advice for Bartering in Monastiraki?

On my last trip to Athens, I spent some time wandering through Monastiraki and loved the vibrant atmosphere, but I quickly realized that bartering is a skill I could use some help with! I know haggling is expected at flea markets and souvenir stalls, but I wasn’t sure how much to negotiate without being rude.

For those who’ve successfully bartered in Monastiraki—or anywhere else in Greece—what are your best tips? Are there certain phrases in Greek that help? How much should I aim to negotiate off the original price? Are there particular times of day when vendors are more willing to give a deal?

I’d love to hear any advice, personal experiences, or even mistakes to avoid. I want to be respectful while also making sure I get a fair price. Thanks in advance!
