October in Athens - Still Busy? | Greece Travel

[@LALew850]

I was there! At the Grand Bretagne. I’m from Louisiana Hello 👋

[@agirlandherpassport]

How was it? I haven’t been inside it.

[@jessicalaw08]

Still not over the fact I had to come back home a couple weeks ago 😆 Loved Greece!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Glad you loved it!

[@livinggood-dt8pt]

Amazing vibrant Athens!

[@agirlandherpassport]

It’s an amazing place.

[@sarseer6722]

Thanks for the October update. I was there in August and already having withdrawals from missing Greece so much..:Sorry you fell! Those marble surfaces everywhere are killer. It seems that there is no perfect shoe for traversing those Athenian streets, especially God forbid any type of moisture hits them…🌧️ Enjoy the cooler weather… 🍁🍂🍁

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thankfully the pain didn’t last. They are dangerous. It’s not the first time I have fallen here.

[@JohnAleman1]

Thanks for the vlog them marble steps can be slippery glad you're ok 🍻

[@sanekabc]

I didn't realize you lived in Koukaki I was just there visiting as a tourist and would have looked out for you. :)

[@agirlandherpassport]

Yep! I love it too!

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

love this vlog showing Athens in October. Love Athens in any month. Hugs and take care!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you!!

[@ErisstheGoddessofmanhwas]

What a nice weather .I'm so jealous. Here in the Nederlands it's already cold 😢😢😢. Btw i hope you visited the hospital. Falling stairs is not just a minor thing please take care of yourself.

[@agirlandherpassport]

It has been nice. I am happy for the change too.

[@ronyzmiri]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos, girl!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you so much!!

[@diannebennett3612]

We have only left Greece 3 weeks ago...Can't wait to get back again..

[@agirlandherpassport]

Hopefully you can come back soon!

[@kitkit5515]

Nice vlog! I am debating Athens or London next year this helps. Thanks for voting 🗳️

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! Happy to hear that.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Here is a hot tip. If you go to Athens, you only need 3 days in Athens to see all the sites.. Get the next plane out and head for Crete. Crete will bow your mind.

[@jayrow5029]

Coming to Athens for a few days in early NOV. (Yup one of those CDN pax getting off cruise ship. 😉) Spent a week on Paros before getting on the ship in Piraeus. Wow, what a good experience there (Paros). Looking forward to seeing Athens’ highlights. So this vid was timely and enjoyable for me. (And thanks for the warning about the stairs! My general rule is no stairs for me without a rail, but found rails are not as plentiful as in Canada and the US. Love your vids - please keep ‘em comin’ 😊

[@jpaleas]

I’m so thrilled you like my country! I’m visiting Athens next month over thanksgiving week and will be staying in the Syntagma square area! I was in Varkiza for a week the end of August and can’t wait to get back. When you’re around Acropolis museum please try out Greek stories restaurant,if you haven’t already…. Great dishes including vegan choices! It’s on makrygianni st side. Also try Tzitzikas&Mermigas or Mezze next to each other on Metropoleos st. Near Syntagma sq. When in Glyfada the best place to have bifteki is George’s, there since 1965 I’m in the process of buying an apartment in Glyfada ! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I enjoy them a lot ! Greetings from Florida USA.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Enjoy your time! Titzikas kai Mermigas is one of my favorites.

[@no-secret-chart]

Hi Tiffany!. I enjoy seeing how things change in Athens and how busy the tourist scene is down there at different times of year. You are like having a cousin in Athens that gives me the skinny. 😊 Thanks!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Haha! I love it. I give you the Athens gossip. You're welcome.

[@kyraleos]

I know those steps well! They're steep and you have to watch every step or you can go flying. Good idea for next time, go the long way. Kifissia is one of the more affluent neighborhoods in Athens, and I hope to explore it more. But so much to explore!

[@sankarsaha9088]

Nice video 👍👍

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you!

[@nomicucce987]

I always go to Athens in October. This year plane tickets were insanely expensive. So waiting for November.

[@agirlandherpassport]

I noticed that when booking my ticket home for Christmas.

[@taki2003]

Koukaki looks nice! I enjoy seeing several days of your life in one video! How are your Greek lessons progressing?

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks! I am going to do more of these lifestyle vlogs soon now that travel is slowing down. They are good. It just takes time. But I have a great teacher.

[@taki2003]

@@agirlandherpassport Greek is not easy to learn. I'm lucky it was my first language, though I almost lost it living in the US, so I am re-learning some of it...and teaching myself to read/write...can't wait for more lifestyle vids!!

[@IkeMcFadden]

Hey. Very much enjoy your videos; I'm an expat and live around Plaka so it's always nice to get an update on whatever I missed the prior weekend if somehow I didn't get to Syntagma or Monastiraki. And agreed, it's nice to finally have a break from the heat in July/August. ;-)

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! I avoided them much of the summer due to the heat but its nice to be out now.

[@michaelaronson7253]

You walked right past my hotel in was at last week @ Elia Ermou, definitely an awesome hotel I would recommend to anyone staying in Athens!

[@agirlandherpassport]

That’s good to know!

[@michaelaronson7253]

@agirlandherpassport Yes, it's rooftop restaurant also has one of the best acropolis views in Athens

[@shelleyr]

I’m in Greece now (Oct 19-27) and have seen several tourists. What a lovely place! So grateful for the visit and hope I can come back again. Your videos were very helpful. Thank you!

[@agirlandherpassport]

I’m glad you have enjoyed it and that my videos were helpful. You’re welcome!

[@austinm2032]

Great video, I’m going to Kalamata the first two weeks of October next year! How has the weather and water been? Thanks

[@agirlandherpassport]

The beginning of October can be good still. I was still in the water then. But some years it’s already cold.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Check out Voidikilia beach, it is about an hour north of Kalamata. Bets beach you will ever swim in.

[@mikefilimon1584]

When I was in Thessalay, it was muggy and actually no breeze. Can you imagine in the mountains?

[@agirlandherpassport]

I had that experience in Delphi. Still felt muggy even up there.

[@mikefilimon1584]

@@agirlandherpassport😮?/; Really? Wow.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Yeah, I thought it would be nice with a breeze but no.

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

You have chosen a paining (a copy I guess) of Alekos Fassianos, judging from the way it is drawn. I love his art.

[@agirlandherpassport]

I’m sure it’s a copy. I love it. I need to go back again to see about it.

[@andrzejkorytkowski8151]

@@agirlandherpassport I am not surprised! His art is amazing! His museum is in Kea where he lived and worked

[@agirlandherpassport]

@andrzejkorytkowski8151 I wish I had known that when I was there. I would have gone. Next time!

[@geogeo2299]

[@agirlandherpassport]

They speak so fast on the news. But if I read the ticker at the bottom, I can sometimes figure out the basics.

[@peterg7675]

i swear we must of passed each other at some point. i like October as the weather is easier to bear then the triple digits summer months.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Maybe. I was out a lot this week.

[@pinadiana7681]

Will be there starting November 3 for 4 nights. Will the weather be cooler then? Not sure what to pack

[@agirlandherpassport]

Probably not. It will be cool at night but warm in the day.

Hi there! May I ask the name of the book your teacher recommended? I recently moved back here after many years, and I could use a grammar refresh.

[@agirlandherpassport]

The book is Mastering the Basics of Greek Grammar.

[@fredkarenclark4551]

We're coming to Athens Dec1-10 , staying in Plaka. Maybe we could meet up?

[@agirlandherpassport]

Depends on if I am here. I am away a lot traveling and then I am going home for Christmas.

[@muddywaters538]

Here in Vegas it’s warm but never the right type of climate for sitting outside

[@agirlandherpassport]

It doesn’t get cool enough in winter? Or is it too cold then?

[@muddywaters538]

Winters can be cool, windy and pleasant. It’s desert and not Mediterranean, but better than New England winters 🥶

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@muddywaters538 Yes, there its just wet and cold!

[@bobfotoples6950]

How long have you been in Athens? I know it was before Covid. Also what kind of earbuds are you wearing?

[@agirlandherpassport]

Five years now. Not too long before Covid.

[@dionysuseros7423]

How are the lessons going? Are you shooting for one of the tests, or are you just trying to improve your grasp of the language? If you do not mind, what is the name of the book you went to buy? I have been learning Greek but need any good resource I can get. I bought a book last year when there (Pes to Ellinika), but it is all in Greek. So it is not much use outside of class.

[@agirlandherpassport]

They are good. It is hard but I have a good teacher. I am aiming to take the citizenship test. The books is called Mastering the Basics of Greek Grammar.

[@vapalaca]

Why is there som much graffiti in Athens?

[@agirlandherpassport]

A variety of reasons. Low incomes and unemployment leads to frustration so they take there frustration out this way. I would rather this than high crime!
