Walking Tour of Pangrati & Mets in Athens | Greece Travel

[@ginaperks1720]

I spent a month in Pangrati in an Airbnb and loved it! You missed the fantastic art gallery beside the church you mentioned… The Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation has a fantastic collection there of both famous international and Greek artists . Bus and tram stop right at the door from the city. Varnova and Proskopon Squares are both fantastic with heaps of cafes to sit at and people watch. 95% Greek with only a few tourists. Very safe area to wander day and night.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You’re welcome!

[@nickgarcia567]

Thank you so much for this! I'm an American moving to Mets in May (already have a place) so this is great to see beforehand.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You're welcome! Make sure to check out the other neighborhood tours too.

American moved to pagrati ??? How that happened 😅😅😅😅

Thank you for showing us different places in Athens. I stayed for a week in October with friends in Melissia. Of course I only had time to see Melissia and the citycentre. But I love the town and it is good to get tips where to have a look the next time I will be there again.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoy them.

Thanks, nice video, I lived in Pangrati Ellanikou Street for 4 years beautiful neighborhoods!!!

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you!

[@ChristosTserotas-zm2kf]

Great video ! As we watch these tours the feel of Athens gets better and better. Heard that Kypseli is an up and coming neighbourhood. Would love to see a tour of that when you get the chance.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks! It is definitely on the list.

[@annavretou8721]

Good Evening. your walk is very nice. in the first Athens Cemetery you visited, important personalities are usually buried, such as prime ministers, heroes of the Greek revolution, actors and others. there is also the well-known sculpture of the talented Halepa.the name of the sculpture is the sleeping woman, by Giannoulis Halepas

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you! I wish there was a map showing them all. I appreciate you sharing what you know.

[@Tarabbass]

Hi, thank you for all tips in your videos. We are travelling to Athens next week and not sure how hot it will be and what should we pack for clothes? Thank you

[@agirlandherpassport]

You're welcome. It isn't hot yet. It will be warm during the day and cool at night. I needed a leather jacket while I was out tonight.

[@Tarabbass]

Love these neighborhood tour videos. Thanks for making it! If you are considering requests - I used to live in Papagou (a _long_ time ago) would be cool to see that, as well as neo psychio (where my school was) and the Glyfada / Elliniko area where the U.S. airbase used to be, as well as the officers club etc. I was a kid but have a lot of memories of that area... Can't wait to go back someday.

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thank you so much! I haven’t been to most of these so me giving a tour might not work. I like to have an idea of what to do in each place before I give a tour. But maybe someday!

@@agirlandherpassport I think the Hellinicon Park is worth a visit

[@agirlandherpassport]

Thanks!

[@kloatlanta]

I stayed in Mets once, right next to the cemetery.

[@agirlandherpassport]

It is a nice area to stay in.

[@kloatlanta]

@@agirlandherpassport there’s a very cute restaurant right behind the Kallimarmaro Stadium.

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@kloatlanta Do you know the name of it?

[@kloatlanta]

@@agirlandherpassport Vyrinis!

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@kloatlanta Thanks. I will have to check it out.

[@thomasj3421]

These are decent neighborhoods. Especially Pangrati.

[@agirlandherpassport]

They are great.

[@airamsipuola5045]

Thank you for the tours -- I'm not familiar with either of these neighborhoods, and I don't think I've ever seen them mentioned in many city guides. I also wonder how Mets go its name -- it doesn't sound Greek ... unless it was shortened from a longer word.

[@agirlandherpassport]

You’re welcome. I don’t know the answer but I will find out and let you know.

[@ATHLDN]

The word comes from the Bavarian man who resided in the area and had a beer house. Athens was governed by the Bavarians at some point.

[@airamsipuola5045]

Interesting ... I did not know that. Thanks!@@ATHLDN

[@cynthiakritika5047]

I think you know a ton of Greek subconsciously but just have problems expressing it! It slips out every now and then I notice. 🇺🇸🇬🇷

[@agirlandherpassport]

I understand a lot but I can’t respond.

[@PoofyPuff1]

aww the oranges are up!

[@agirlandherpassport]

It is the season!

[@nick63837]

It's lexikopoleo 😊

[@agirlandherpassport]

Yes but saying it is not easy for me.

[@airamsipuola5045]

@@agirlandherpassport Think "Mexico" for "lexico," and "polio" for "poleo," but pronounced poe-LEE-oh. It means dictionary. :)

[@maharisshi]

@@agirlandherpassport It might be easier when trying to pronounce it as 2 separate words, lexico + poleo, it's a combo word after all 🙃

[@agirlandherpassport]

@@maharisshi Thanks! I think so too.
