How Expensive is Athens Greece?| Budget Travel

[@chaostade4087]

3.9 euros for a gyro? i think they robbed you, i've never seen such a price for a gyro anywhere. prices are 2.20 - 2.80

[@christinastathopoulou5436]

i was thinking exactly the same, i am a local!

[@harryananiadis3603]

They are tourists, so they propably went in a very expensive touristy place

I’m from Athens but live in the UK. Love my home city however I’ve noticed on many videos how insane the graffiti tagging has become, I really think it’s time this is sorted. The new mayor of Athens has said he will resolve this but I’d like to hear what other people who are visiting the city think about this? Some like it as think it’s colourful, I personally believe it’s visual pollution. What do you think?

[@Peregrination]

You are correct, it certainly makes the city colorful, but a lot of it is a little senseless tagging, right? However, some of the artwork is great!

Athens downtown and Exarchia area that they wandering a lot on the video is for many street artists the "Mecca of graffiti" in Europe. Here's a good article for street art in Athens www.nytimes.com/2014/04/16/world/europe/across-athens-graffiti-worth-a-thousand-words-of-malaise.html

If visiting in summer, it might be a good idea to get to the acropolis really early or very late to avoid the heat and the cruise ship tours. Visit the Acropolis Museum during the hottest part of the day.

[@flaviopitanga65]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I want to visit Greece.

[@instavid3160]

The land of Greece is one infused with ancient mythology and if you like archeology, history, art, and philosophy then a trip to this fascinating country is not to be missed. Greece is made up of a series of idyllic islands that are surrounded by jet blue seas and covered in dainty white buildings, and you will also find crumbling ruins, engaging museums, and pretty coastal towns aplenty.

[@DefinitelyGreece]

Very true!!! Keep exploring Greece

[@beautifulpeople7233]

This is definitely helpful for my trip to Greece. I'm planning to go in summer so I hope I'll be lucky enough to get a free entrance to Acropolis lol.

[@StylleFiles13]

Beautiful People I went to the Acropolis today and the cost to enter was 10 Euro. It’s the low season price.

[@bishopblue5909]

lucky day

[@Peregrination]

Hopefully this will convince you to go visit Athens!! Thanks for watching our video!

[@thusspake9526]

Even taxis are MUCH MUCH cheaper than most European and American cities. And even in Plaka and Monastiraki, food is not too expensive either, unless you pick a luxurious place or a posh restaurant. There are varieties of prices and street food is always cheap.

[@mrlololoula]

There must be 100 videos out there of "Greece on a Budget", I wish someone would make a video on visiting Greece luxury style.

[@peterpeter8325]

Of course Athens is in Greece!

[@Peregrination]

LOL, well yeah! Thanks so much for watching our video!

[@dimz796]

Greek salad (horiatiki) is more expensive because of the feta. The plain version is usually cheaper.

[@elcam84]

Don't buy your tickets at the Acropolis ticket booth. The lines are very very long. Go to one of the other sites as they all sell tickets. It is $30 for a ticket that is good for all the sites and it is good for a week. We have never taken the subway we always just walk as athens is easy to get around. Food is good everywhere. The Potatoes are grown on Naxos and they taste so much better than any you have ever had. For chocolate get a bottle of Milko chocolate milk. The best I have ever had. We stay in the area due south of the acropolis a little further away than Diva Pizza. (they have a great combo meal that's big and great Caesar salad with it) We have also stayed further to the south east near lambrakis hill which is more of the locals area so food is cheaper and better there. The hill was a prison for minors a few decades back and there is a restaurant called TRIKYKLO that is good as is the one directly across from it.

Pita gyros on the menu costs 2.3 € . You probably paid for the huge sandwich but got the small pita.

[@lg8054]

What is the name of the apartment or hotel you stayed at in Athens?

[@maobfh]

I am late, sorry. And you might be wise to this by now. But…a tip i have heard many times is that a Greek Salad is a tourist thing. No one in Greece orders a Greek Salad, they simply order a salad. I don’t know what an American Salad would be, but there is one …. or ten. The Greek know what a Greek salad is because so many Americans will insist on one and refuse that restaurant’s specialty salad. Crazy but….there you go. So if you HAVE TO HAVE a GREEK salad in Greece where every salad is Greek, you are going to pay double for it.

[@TheMariumAgha]

Can u give details of ur Airbnb pls which apartment names

[@jamalpeoples3736]

I never understand why people don't use Airbnb to there advantage. People will ask me why did I rent a place for month if I am in a spot for 12 days. Then I say well a monthly 350 dollars yet you just paid 700 dollars for less time.

[@rizman6053]

Hey hi, what is that air B&B you stayed?

Other than Greek, do they speak French or English there?

Almost everywhere you go in Greece you will find people speaking english.All the signs are also in english and on all products that supermarket sells have english translation on them.If you stay in a hotel in Athens or on the islands the staff usually speaks english also .

But in turkey this donuts 10 lira.it seems in Greece is very expensive.

[@CristinaAshley8]

Probably a really stupid question but I'm trying to get over there October of next year for the first time. Is it easier to start learning the language now? Or atleast some of the basic? Is there an English translate on all things or would it be easier to have our phones on translate? It's such a beautiful place and I can't wait.

[@alx_gr1]

As an Athenian I guess I can give you some advice. Everyone in Greece speaks English and every monument/museum/public transport has signs in English. The only reason you might need to learn Greek for is reading menus in some local, non tourist packed, restaurants or supermarkets!

[@CristinaAshley8]

@@alx_gr1 Is there any favorite spots I should absolutely hit? Thank you for answering my question!
