Creator tips for Athens
"Buying combo tickets for Athens’ metro system is one of the best ways to save money. A one-day unlimited pass is 4.10 EUR, and a five-day pass is 8.20 EUR."
"Gyros (and other street snacks) usually only cost a few euros. They are quick and easy and can keep you full for less than 10 EUR per day!"
"The busiest times at the Acropolis are from 11am until 1pm. This is regardless of the time of year and regardless of the new mandatory timed entry, so try to arrive as early as possible"
"Athens Studios is a really nice hostel/hotel in the heart of the city just within walking distance of the Acropolis, and is where I stayed when I was backpacking through Greece!"
