Top Culture 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.

Get there by 9 AM to beat the crowds! I arrived around that time, and it was much more enjoyable without the masses everywhere. You can soak in the exhibits in peace.

Looking to save a few euros? Grab a quick bite at the café inside instead of heading out to find food. Their prices are decent, and the food is actually tasty!

If you want to save some cash, think about getting the Athens tourist pass. It gives you access to multiple sites and can really cut down on ticket prices!

I recommend visiting early like around 8 AM. The heat is much more bearable and you get some amazing photos with fewer crowds.

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.

You might wanna buy your tickets ahead of time online. I waited in line for quite a while, and it was annoying!

For a great view, head to the cliffs on the left of the Acropolis! I was surprised by the stunning scenery, so don’t skip it!

I suggest checking the weather before you go. It gets super hot, so plan your visit for a milder day if possible!

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.
