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.
