Athens Survival Guide
|
If you have questions about Athens or Greece or are looking for something and you can't find it you can Contact Matt and I will reply pretty quickly since I pretty much live on my computer. You can also use the same form to Request my Greece E-mail Newsletter for my latest information. Be sure to tell me if you are traveling in the summer or winter. If you like this site please share it with your friends on social media. There are Facebook share buttons on this and other pages. If you need assistance with putting together an itinerary try using my Create-an-itinerary Work Page where you can put together a plan for your Greece trip with the assistance of a Greek travel agent, with no obligation to buy. If you are just here to find hotels see my Athens Hotel Suggestions and remember that booking through my website helps support my work. Guide to Athens, Greece for 2019 |
This is the index page for my Athens Survival Guide. It will
give you the tools to survive and
thrive in Athens, Greece and enable you to have as much fun as I do and feel as comfortable as if you have been here before. You can read about hotels, restaurants, archaeological sites, nightlife, beaches and day-trips to nearby islands and beaches and towns on the mainland. My Athens Guide may not be as high tech as some of the other travel sites but I think you will find it to be the most fun to use and probably find it to be at least as helpful as the popular guide books, except
this is
free. You can print out the pages you need and when you are done with them leave them for others to find. It also looks pretty good
on hand held devices. I began this website in 1995 and I update it continuously. Use the menu below that will lead you to the various sub-menus on this page. This site is entirely hand-made and contains no cookies or sneaky pop-ups or tricks that make you click on something you don't
want. I have put ads at the bottom of the pages to not be
a distraction and only ads for my own pages or businesses I know and trust. By supporting them you not only support me, but you will probably have a safer and happier trip to Greece. |

Getting Out of Athens |
||
| Most people come to Athens because they are going to the Greek Islands and this section will tell you about the islands near Athens and how to get to them and those further away. It also has sections on mainland day-trips and overnight trips, and various services who can get you out of Athens. For those of you who are going to the Greek Islands I suggest you visit my Greek Island Guide too. | ||

Other Helpful Athens Info
|
||
| This section has a lot of important stuff, some articles written in a fun and whimsical fashion and other articles quite dry and boring but nonetheless useful. I have also included some of the articles that are featured in the sections above but are just as suited to this section. In fact the stuff I want you to read because I think it is important to you (or to me) I may have listed two or three times in this index. | ||
|
If you have an idea of what you want to do in Greece use my Create-an-itinerary Form It's fun. You fill out the form and choose the islands and how many days you want to stay, any tours, and what your budget is and click send and in a few hours a travel agency replies with a plan for you. |

Photo Tours of Athens and Other Stuff |

| These are photos I have taken over the years and several articles that I could not decide where else to put them. Many of these pages are linked to from other pages above but some are not. There are also links to photo albums on some of my other websites. In fact you can see most of my best photos by going to www.greecetravel.com/photos | ||

Visit my Greece Travel T-shirts Page where you can buy your souvenirs before you visit
Greece. Not only will you get discounts and gifts from restaurants and shops for wearing them, and not only will you be able to recognize other people who use my websites and become instant friends, but all proceeds go to helping the needy in Greece. And the designs are way better than anything you will see in the tourist shops in Greece. See Greece T-shirts and Athens T-shirts.
Find hotels in Athens by location, price, whether or not it has a swimming pool, and see photos and reviews by using this link to Booking.com. Excellent prices and many hotels you can book and then cancel with no cancellation fee. For those who want to book without using a travel agency this is the best way to do it.
