Can you please help me out? Following Wednesday Sep.3th my layout in Athens is from 5:30 pm untill 12 pm next. Do I have enough time too see Parthenon if I go straight from the airport? I could be there around 7pm. Do they have closing time? Thank you ❤

[@marklu6633]

I ordered two tickets to Acropolis with credit cards. The tickets are for five sites on October 20, the entry time is 12-1pm. But somehow I did not print out the tickets. So my questions to you: where is the entry gate of Acropolis using the tickets from your referred site? Thank you! Mark

Good job! My gf and I spent 3 days in Athens a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it very much. It exceeded my expectations. I'm a cat lover, too, and enjoyed the furry residents.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Thank you Amanda & Shane! This is truly the best compliment I could receive 😁🥰 Are you planning your Greece trip this spring, summer, fall?

[@hangin_with_the_elders]

@FrolicAndCourage We are leaving April 29th. Our first destination is Santorini. We will be there for four days. Then we go to Athens. And thanks to your videos we know how we should get around and what to expect.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

@hangin_with_the_elders that’s within the next two weeks - how exciting! First Santorini then Athens? What an amazing trip to Greece 🇬🇷 I hope you both have the best time and enjoy all that Greece has to offer 😃

[@jshah1225]

Any sim card recommendations? Thanks very informative video.

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey J! I don’t usually purchase SIM cards, but checkout Vodaphone, Cosmote, Wind, Airalo, and Orange for Greece coverage. The first three are the three major wireless Carrie’s in the country 👍🏽😊

[@tessaknoblauch4498]

The combined ticket for the archeological sites is no longer offered as of April 1, 2024.

[@siusiu143]

Still have it since I purchased the combo tickets after 4/1/24 :)

[@FrolicAndCourage]

@siusiu143 that’s awesome! 👏🏽

[@mikepham518]

Yes traveling 4-5 days solo in second week of November. This is very helpful. Do you need a am international sim or esim to use google map or be able to use data search etch in Greece when you don’t have Wi-Fi ?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

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.

Hello Is Tiquets a good website to buy tickets for the Acropolis? Thanks 🙏

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hello! This company isn’t on my radar for reputable companies (ex- Viator, Get Your Guide, Athens Walks, etc). The reviews I read appear to be inconsistent, so def do your research 🧐

What airline goes from Amsterdam to Greece ? I’m traveling to Athens from London. Is it best to go to Athens first or Ireland ?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

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 🙂

[@ishineandburn]

Hi, I'm going to Athens in May. I'm going alone and have booked onto a few group tours. I hope I'll be ok and not the only lone traveller... Haha. I'm kinda regretting going by myself. What do you think?

[@FrolicAndCourage]

Hey James! I think you’ll be just fine 😊 Group tours are a great way to meet people and learn more about Athens - culture, history, and food - and get great recommendations for what to see and eat from a local! I LOVE solo travel because you get to do what you want, when you want and follow your own interests. I’m excited for you 😁 Which tour are you most looking forward to?

[@ishineandburn]

@@FrolicAndCourage Thank you! Day 1 e-bike tour, day 2 food tasting tour, day 3 Acropolis, day 5 Philosophy walk & talk. I'm staying 7 days so will also check out a beach or two. And I'll be making sure to check out your vidz also 👍🙂

[@ishineandburn]

@@FrolicAndCourage ...my biggest worry is what to do in the evenings, alone

[@FrolicAndCourage]

What a great schedule! The philosophy walk and talk seems like it will be an enriching experience 📚 Thankfully Athenians eat late so you might be at a cozy Taverna until the morning listening to live music or eating something delicious 😋

Any rent a car recommendations

[@FrolicAndCourage]

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 👍🏽🚗

[@wouternieminen844]

I am using Sixt. I never had issues with them in EU. I will go to Greece end of June and have booked a car with Sixt from Athens. A car is not recommended in Athens itself (parking issues).
