I am having a hard time finding nonstop flights from Toronto to Athens. I would be traveling in September.

In the past, I always flew nonstop. However, this was before the pandemic. Any idea which airlines I should look at?

I have some flexibility with my travel dates. Any advice is appreciated.

Travel options have changed a bit due to the pandemic, but you can still find nonstop flights to Athens from Toronto at delta online. Or, you can check out airlines like Air Canada, Aegean Airlines, or Air Transat. Flexibility with your travel dates can be a plus. Safe travels, and enjoy your trip to Athens!

I flew from Toronto to Athens last summer on Air Canada—direct flight, super straightforward. If you're in the middle of researching and need to build a trip checklist or even a quick travel blog, I used https://duckwebdesign.com/ to throw together a site—really easy to use and helpful for organizing stuff like flight info, hotel bookings, and local tips in one place.

Is renting a car necessary in Athens?

I’m planning to spend a few days in Athens this summer before heading off to the islands, and I’m trying to decide whether renting a car is actually necessary while I’m there.

Part of me likes the flexibility of having a car, especially if I want to explore beyond the main historic center. On the other hand, I’ve heard traffic can be intense, parking is limited, and public transportation is fairly easy to use for the major sites.

My plan is to see the Acropolis, wander neighborhoods like Plaka and Koukaki, enjoy some good food, and maybe do one day trip if time allows. After that, I’ll be taking a ferry.

For those who’ve spent a few days in Athens, did you rent a car or rely on walking, taxis, and public transport? Was having a car helpful, or more of a hassle than it was worth? I’d appreciate honest advice.

Is the Acropolis Museum Worth It?

I might be planning another trip to Athens and, oddly enough, I've never actually visited the Acropolis Museum. Every time I've been there, I've spent most of my time exploring the Acropolis itself, wandering through Plaka, or fitting in other sites, and somehow the museum has always ended up getting skipped.

This time I'm wondering if I should finally make time for it. I've heard great things, but I'm curious whether it's something that really adds to the experience of visiting the Acropolis or if it's better suited for people who are especially interested in archaeology and history.

For those of you who have been, did you feel it was one of the highlights of Athens? How much time would you recommend setting aside, and is there anything in particular that really stood out to you?

Which Temples Around Athens Are Worth Visiting Beyond the Parthenon?

I’ve been to the Parthenon before and absolutely loved it, but next time I’m in Athens, I’d like to go beyond the obvious. I know the city and surrounding region are full of ancient temples that don’t get as much attention, and I’d love to explore some of them.

Are there particular temples in or near Athens that stand out for their beauty, history, or atmosphere? I’ve heard the Temple of Hephaestus is remarkably well-preserved, but what about others—maybe a bit outside the city, like Sounion or Eleusis? Are any of them easy to reach by public transport or day trip?

I’m especially interested in sites that still feel powerful or peaceful to visit, without the huge crowds. Would love your recommendations for must-see temples, hidden gems, or personal favorites among Greece’s ancient sanctuaries.

How walkable is Athens?

I’m thinking about visiting Athens this year and trying to figure out how easy it is to get around on foot. I usually prefer walking when I travel, especially in cities where you can explore neighborhoods naturally without relying too much on transportation.

How walkable is Athens overall? Are the main areas like Plaka, Monastiraki, and the Acropolis close enough to each other to comfortably walk between them, or is it more spread out than it looks?

I’m also wondering where it makes the most sense to stay if I want to rely mostly on walking. Would it still be worth using the metro, or even renting a car, or is that unnecessary for a short trip?

How much time do you really need at the Acropolis?

It’s been several years since I last visited the Acropolis, and I’m trying to help some friends plan their first trip to Athens. I honestly can’t remember how long I spent there, I just remember being completely absorbed in everything and losing track of time!

They’re wondering how much time to set aside, and I don’t want to underestimate it. I know there’s the main climb, the Parthenon, Erechtheion, and all those sweeping views, plus time for photos and just soaking it all in.

Would you say two hours is enough for a relaxed visit, or does it really take closer to half a day if you include the museum or nearby sites? I’d love to hear what others recommend, especially those who’ve been recently, how long did it take you to see everything without feeling rushed?
