I love a good solo travel adventure! Yes, you need a sim or eSIM to access up to date information on Google maps. In the alternative, you could download an offline version of Google maps and it will still work, but it will not display real-time data.

Hey Jerome! There are many airline that fly from Amsterdam to Greece, but check out KLM or Aegean if you want to fly direct, non-stop. Coming from London it might make sense to visit Ireland first since it’s so close, but it all depends on your preferences, budget, and itinerary 🙂

Hey EJ - I don’t have any rental car recommendations (we didn’t rent a car and it isn’t necessary if you’re only going to stay in the city), but if you do a quick Google search there are a lot of rental companies to choose from at the airport. Also, check out this great article by Santorini Dave: santorinidave.com/rent-car-athens-airport 👍🏽🚗
