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.

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!

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?

I'm planning my very first trip to Athens, Greece, and I'm super excited! I've heard so many amazing things about this historic city, but I want to make sure I don't miss out on any must-see spots or hidden gems.

For those of you who have been to Athens before, what are the key things I absolutely need to visit? Here are a few things I've heard about:

The Acropolis and Parthenon
The Ancient Agora
The National Archaeological Museum
Plaka neighborhood

I'd love your recommendations on these places or any other sites, restaurants, or activities that you think are worth checking out. Also, any tips on the best times to visit certain spots or how to avoid the crowds would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance for your advice! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

Tips for seeing the Parthenon (again)

I’m heading back to Athens soon, and it’s been years since I last visited the Parthenon—long before the Acropolis Museum was even built! This time, I’ll be traveling with someone who’s never been to Athens, and seeing the Parthenon is at the top of their list.

Since it’s been so long, I’d love your advice on making the most of the experience. Here are a few questions:

Best time to visit: When is it least crowded, especially in summer?
Acropolis Museum: How much time should we set aside, and are there must-see exhibits?
Tickets: Are there combined tickets for the Parthenon and museum? Should we book in advance?
Tips for photos: Any advice for great shots of the Parthenon and views of Athens?

Thanks in advance! I usually just visit people when I go to Athens, I haven't done really touristy stuff like this for years.
