Top Architecture in Greece

Visiting in the early morning around 8 AM is the best; you beat the crowds and the heat. Plus, the sunrise views over Athens are breathtaking!

Take a moment to really soak in the view from the top. I rushed through it initially, and now I wish I had spent more time enjoying the scenery and taking photos.

If you're into art, keep an eye out for any pop-up exhibitions. When I visited, there was a fantastic installation that wasn't advertised but totally worth seeing.

I suggest taking the time to explore the architecture of the building as you walk around. There are unique angles and perspectives that really make for great photos. It was my favorite part of the visit!

Bring a picnic! The park surrounding the center is lovely, and it’s a great way to relax without spending too much on food. Just grab some snacks from a local shop before heading over.

Bring a water bottle and some snacks. I found the prices at the cafes near the monasteries to be a bit steep. It's nice to take a break and enjoy a snack with a view.

Wear comfortable shoes! The paths can be steep and uneven. I saw some people struggling in flip flops, so opt for sturdy walking shoes to make your experience much nicer.

Don't skip the monasteries' interiors. While the exteriors are jaw-dropping, the inside of the Great Meteoron, for example, has beautiful art and history that really made the visit special.

Don't skip the Museum! It’s small but packed with cool artifacts and helps you appreciate what you're walking around. I found a few hidden gems in there!

Pack a small picnic! The Agora has some lovely spots to chill and enjoy lunch, plus you can save a few euros instead of eating out.

I suggest visiting right when it opens at 8 am to beat the crowds and get some peaceful snaps of the ruins. The light is better for photos too!

I recommend going early, like around 9 AM, to avoid the crowds and get those Instagram shots without people photobombing. Trust me, it’s way more chill before noon.

Try walking along the marina instead of taking a taxi to save some cash. It's a lovely stroll and you'll see some amazing yachts and cafes on the way.
