Your own Greece

Dear All,

No posts for some time now! I decided though this post to be not about Cyclades itself but about Greece in general.

Therefore I thought, that since summer is coming and you might search to find your ideal Greek destination, is the right time me to write some things about Greece, Greeks and their land :)

I will start with Athens, the capital. Is it something special about Athens?

Well that depends on your taste, but I will definitely say that the Olympic games was a very good occasion for Athens to obtain a modern and very convenient Metro (Underground) and to improve clearly many touristic and public services.

Now is possible if you visit Athens to use the underground and to move easily to your favorite destinations: Acropolis (Parthenon), Parliament, Olympic Stadium, Monastiraki and many more! Do not forget, that by the underground is very easy to approach the Airport or Peireas Port. No worries for taxis!

I would go one step further saying that in case that you have any local guide please ask him to use also the suburban train; its network is very well operated and you will have the very good chance to see also the non touristic Athens. You might stop for a coffee in Kiffisia or Marousi were you will defintely find shops and cafeterias to have a drink.

I have the strong impression that over the years the underground and its connected network of trains would be the development axes of Athens. Right now, and this is the a real disadvantage of Athens, individuals or the government have not built around the metro lines. It is difficult to find something that you will really like as a tourist when you walk out or the non touristic stations. At the moment things look very local and some times unprofessional. But is worth trying to use the underground and try to explore your own Athens!

There are many places to explore and to find something new. But please stay near at the stations and especially the ones that they are famous. Why? Because you will find somewhere to sit and to enjoy your summer time.

Therefore the message for today is, use the underground and discover your own Greece. If you need more information where you could go, I will post later this week or just drop me a message.

Next time though, we will make fun with some typical Greek attidutes that would be better to know :)

Stay here!
