FAQ
How many days in Athens before the islands?
Two to three days covers the Acropolis, museums, and the old neighborhoods — a perfect city leg before a ferry to the islands.
When is the best time for a group trip to Athens?
April–June and September–October: warm enough for rooftops, cool enough for ruins. July–August is very hot; plan sites at dawn and beaches after.
Is Athens budget-friendly for friends?
Very — souvlaki dinners cost a few euros, the metro is cheap, and many viewpoints (Areopagus, Lycabettus trails) are free.
