I’m also waiting for May Acropolis tickets to be released… assuming it will be on 1 May.

Thanks for recommendations, any more very welcome! We are also doing one night on Hydra so recs for that useful too. Thanks

Had a great few days in Athens, at the airport now which compared to the one we went through in Spain last month is a haven of relaxation so far.

would throughly recommend the Acropolis museum before going to the Acropolis itself and getting there early to get the stunning top gallery all to yourself.

we had a 17:00 slot for the acropolis itself, pre-booked but no queues at all.

with teens dependent on their interests the Greek technology museum near Syntaga square is good.

city clean and felt very safe. Metro good, though busy. Though we got a car transfer from and to the airport which was not hugely more than the metro, especially with four is us, and a lot more relaxing.

I went up the Acropolis on Sunday - no queuing and all good. Either 3rd Saturday or Sunday of the month is free - I thought it was Sunday but at the ticket office they said it was Saturday

I have booked 17:00 on a Monday. It is uk half term and I’m not sure about the rest of Europe holidays so hopefully will be not insanely busy.

We went last August. Didn't even occur to me to buy tickets in advance. Was very quiet when we went. Arrived around midday, no queues

Lake Vouliagmeni is worth a visit

@HalfasleepChrisintheMorning Thank you so much for recommending restaurant Scholarhio. We had a brilliant meal on the terrace there.

@MegCleary how did it all work out in the end. Hopefully you had a great trip?

@boys3 fab holiday, Air bnb in Kallithea so felt kind of local and then into city centre for evenings. Weather ace, people lovely. Feel bad as Greek very hard managed please and thanks etc but usually do a bit better language wise.
Acropolis inspiring and no EES issues for DH on uk passport. Rest of family eu passports.
