    We had an amazing time using your tips in Athens and Santorini. Started seeing things close on the island and the locals all telling us they were leaving October 31. Happy we got to see the “local” side of Greece rather than tourist side. I’ll be making videos on my channel when I get all my thoughts sorted out😅 thank you Sebastian!

    We are planning to visit Athens next 2 weeks. As we are a little bit underground people ( we love to discover new caves or mines, which we saw a lot already), and I saw, that below city you have Peania Cave Koutouki, which looks beautiful! I know, that people visits Athens from different reasons, but I'm a little bit suprised, not much people are talking about this place. I also saw Kapsia Cave about 150 km on west side from Athens, and on the road there I found attractions like Mykeny, Larissa Castle Argos or Akrokorynt, which looks also very nice to visit for one day trip by car. Any opinion on that?

    Hi Sebastian, thank you for your information. I will go to Mykonos from Naxos on 29 Nov 2023. I asked the main ferry companys (Seajets, Fast Ferries, Blue Star and Golden Star Ferries) and they replied no ferries go to Mykonos from Naxos in the winter. Is there any small ferries company operate this route? Or any other method I can go to Mykonos from Naxos? Thank you very much!

    How would you say Athens compares to Rome in December (if you’ve been to Rome)? I’m trying to decide where to take my mum and grandma for a week. There’s the option to do both, which involves a bit more travel, which can be tricky with elderly people. My research clearly shows Athens is a lot more affordable. But I wonder if it has the Christmas spirit I’d expect to see in Rome?

  • @GreeceExplained

    Athens doesn't particularly have a "christmas spirit". It's not like Northern Europe with all the Christmas markets etc. In Athens you'll have a few lights and decorations here and there, but that's it. Christmas isn't such a big thing in Greece, Easter is the real deal.
