The Acropolis is the most famous of Athens’s seven hills. The others are Areopagus, Philopappou, Hill of the Nymphs, Pnyx, Lycabettus, and Tourkovounia. These should all be on your Athens itinerary!
Athens has four different types of public transport options: underground metro, bus, tram, and rail. Single-journey tickets are valid for 90 minutes and cover all public transport options. Super easy!
One of the best Athens tips for travelers is to make sure the meter starts at zero and has a ‘1’ in front and not a ‘2’ which should only be used for fares after midnight.
Despite the fact that Athens is a huge capital city, many of the landmarks are concentrated in one area which means you’ll be walking between them. Pack sneakers or comfortable sandals that you can walk for hours and hours in.
Opt for the Athens Combo Ticket which only costs €30. It lasts for five days and you can visit a range of archaeological ruins including Hadrian’s Library, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and so many others.
