What You Need to Know Before Visiting Athens, Greece 🇬🇷✨

Sis, Athens is calling—and trust, it’s a vibe. You’re about to step into a city where ancient history meets rooftop cocktails, and every street has a story to tell. Whether you’re here for the culture, the food, or just to strut your way up to the Acropolis like the goddess you are, we got you covered. Before you book that flight and start practicing your “Opa!” for the ‘Gram, here’s everything you need to know before touching down in Athens. And if you want a no-stress, all-fun trip? Whether you cruise with us on the 711 Experience or design your own getaway, Girl Let’s Go got you.

Best Time to Go 🌞✈️

Athens stays poppin’ year-round, but let’s be real—summer is HOT HOT. If you’re not trying to melt while sightseeing, spring (April-June) and fall (September-October) are your best bets. You’ll get that perfect ‘sun-kissed but not sweaty’ weather, and fewer crowds blocking your photo ops.

💡 Want to visit Athens in style? Ride with us on the 711 Experience cruise in 2026.

Currency & Cash Flow 💰

You’re spending Euros (€) out here, so plan accordingly. While cards are accepted in most places, some of the best local spots (aka where the real food is) might still be cash-only. Hit up an ATM when you land and keep some euros on deck.

💡 Bucketlist Baddie Tip: Always carry small bills for taxis, tips, and those random street vendors selling fire Greek snacks.

Getting Around 🚶‍♀️🚇

Walking in Athens? Your calves will never forgive you, but it’s worth it. This city is best explored on foot, but when you need a break, here’s how to move:

• Metro: Fast, cheap, and easy. Perfect for hitting all the hotspots.

• Taxis & Rideshares: Uber exists, but mostly for booking local taxis. Negotiate your fare or confirm the meter is on before hopping in.

• Buses & Trams: If you wanna move like a local, they’re reliable and budget-friendly.

💡 Big Sis Travel Tip: Want everything handled? Book your Athens tours, airport transfers, and more through our Personal Experiences.

What to Eat (Because You Didn’t Come to Play With the Food) 🍽️🔥

Greek food? Elite. Period. You’re in for the best flavors of your life, so don’t hold back:

• Souvlaki & Gyros: Street food royalty.

• Moussaka: Greece’s version of lasagna, but better.

• Feta Everything: Salads, pastries, fries—you name it.

• Loukoumades: Think Greek donuts, but next level.

💡 Baddie Tip: Skip the tourist traps. Ask a local where they eat, or hit up a taverna with a Greek-only menu. If grandma is cooking, you’re in the right place.

Must-See & Must-Do in Athens 🏛️📸

Athens is one of those cities where you don’t just “visit”—you experience it.

✅ Acropolis & Parthenon: Because if you don’t go, did you even come to Athens? Go early to dodge the crowds and the heat.

✅ Plaka & Monastiraki: Cute AF neighborhoods full of history, markets, and bomb cafés.

✅ Lycabettus Hill: Hike up for sunset views that will have you rethinking your entire life.

✅ Rooftop Bars: Athens at night? A whole mood. Hit up spots like A for Athens or Couleur Locale for the best skyline views with a cocktail in hand.

Things to Know Before You Go 💡✈️

• Tipping isn’t huge in Greece, but rounding up or leaving 5-10% is appreciated.

• Public bathrooms? Carry tissues & coins, because sometimes they charge, and sometimes there’s no TP.

• Learn a few Greek words: A simple “Efcharistó” (Thank you) will get you far.

• Sunday shutdowns: Many shops and restaurants close early or don’t open at all. Plan accordingly.
