Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on over 50 cruises and visited more than 70 countries.

I packed smart, knowing I'd be navigating public transport, I repacked one small bag for 3 days and stored my larger suitcase at the luggage facility in the arrivals hall at the Athens International Airport.

Athens has switched to a tap to ride system in the time that I haven't been there. So, now you can use your credit card or phone to tap in at the metro turn styles.

I just received a text message saying that the fairies that I was going to take tomorrow have been cancelled for 48 hours due to a strike.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Store luggage at the airport arrivals hall for easier metro travel.
Use the tap-to-ride system with credit card or phone for metro fares.
Consider the 3-day tourist ticket for unlimited rides and airport transfer.
Check metro operating hours, especially for early morning flights.
Stay alert for pickpockets on crowded metro trains.
