I'm in the holy spirit but pretty sad that we in Athens can't leave the house to attend church services. I've only been living here for a little while so I haven't gotten the chance to visit many of the churches. What are your favorites?
 
The Church of Agia Dynami is stunning on the inside and out!
 
Lycabettus is the best church! It's at the top of the hill and you have to use a cable car to get there but it's totally worth it
 
While you're at Lycabettus, I recommend sticking around toes some of the views. Lycabettus Hill is one of the places in Athens where you can see the best sunset!

Tips for saving money in Athens?

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 Greece in winter and I was considering it. I found this video - it was very informative! Thought I'd share:

Best shopping in Athens?

I'm planning a trip to Athens and I'm a bit of a shopaholic. I want to make the most of my time there and experience the best shopping the city has to offer.

From what I've heard, Athens is a treasure trove of markets, boutiques, and shops - but I'd really appreciate some local or experienced insights.

Could anyone recommend:
  • The best areas for unique, local finds?
  • Any specific stores known for quality Greek goods?
  • Tips for navigating the markets?
I've only done historical things in Athens and visited friends. I have never taken the time to shop, but I will have plenty of time in Athens over the summer.

Fun Side Trips While Staying in Athens

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.
