Creator's Key Takeaways

The first way I'm going to show you is how to get it to there by metro.

If he says it, then believe it for sure. We read Rick's books.

It's very hilly. Um, this was challenging for me cuz I'm used to Florida and I'm used to being flat.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the metro from Piraeus to Athens city center for a cheap and easy option.
Consider taking a taxi for flexibility, especially with a larger group.
Check for Greek Orthodox holidays, as attractions may be closed.
Be prepared for hilly terrain and heat, especially if you have mobility issues.
