I’m composing this publish in between piles of clothes. I’m still in the middle of packing my stuff for my very first trip to Athens, which is just a few hours from now. as well as I can’t tell you exactly how excited I am. It’s all I’ve been believing about for the past few weeks.
When my buddies discovered I’m flying to Greece, they expressed their concern about the timing. As a Mediterranean country, Greece is understood as a summertime destination. A simple mention of Greece conjures pictures of stunning beaches cradled between golden cliffs, boats leaving slipstreams across cerulean waters, as well as ruins under the intense warm of the sun.
But if you’ve been complying with our blog long enough, you understand that we like traveling in winter. In fact, our travel season — the period when we go on consecutive trips — always begins in December. It’s not by chance. There are reasons why we prefer to roam in the chillier months:
Off-peak season. more frequently than not, costs of flights, hotels, as well as tours significantly go down in winter. It’s a fantastic time to check out for budget plan travelers like us! In fact, Scoot currently has a fantastic promo. They phone call it: Take-off Tuesday. starting December 5, you can grab fares for Athens for only P9,999! Seats are restricted so make sure your quick fingers are prepared on December 5.
Smaller crowds. Understandably as well as expectedly, Athens is one prominent destination so huge crowds during peak seasons are not surprising at all. however during winter, things are not as hectic.
Friendlier temperatures. As a guy who spent most of my life in the tropics, I state I’ve had more than my share of the heat. chilly weather condition fascinates me, as well as I discover it more comfortable for sightseeing as well as just walking around.
Although Athens is our entry point, it is really the last stop in our itinerary. We’ll be checking out other regions of Greece as well as other countries in Europe very first before ending the trip in Athens, so we still have lots of time to add or modification our plans. however right here are a few of the things we are looking ahead to!

1. Skydiving in Athens
Skydiving in Athens is open year-round, so this may be a fantastic option for winter.
Last year, we were supposed to make our skydiving debut in Prague. It took us a few days to make a decision, as well as when we lastly did, it rained, prompting the company to cancel our flight. We ended up leaving Prague still skydiving virgins.
But we’re hoping to modification that in Athens. “Hoping” since we’re still not sure about it, to be honest. budget plan is an issue. Skydiving in Athens is fairly cheap. The key words there is relatively. At EUR160-210 per person, it is definitely one of the cheapest skydiving choices we discovered online, however it is still a hefty sum for a 3-hour activity. So we’ll see if we have sufficient money towards the end of the trip.
Do you believe we should lastly try skydiving?
2. The Acropolis minus huge Crowds
Not just Acropolis however likewise the other ruins as well as historic sites scattered around the city. I’m expecting a more relaxed, more comfortable touring experience, without having to wait in long queues as well as battle other tourists for a picture spot. LOL.
The Acropolis is likewise understood for not having much shade within its vicinity, so the cooler environment will most likely assist make our time more enjoyable.
3. chill Hilltop Views
You what else we plan to do other than visiting the Acropolis? Taking nice panoramic pictures of it from afar. Fortunately, my on the internet research study informed me that Athens has lots of areas just for that, as well as many of them are perched on hilltops: Filopappou Hill, Lycabettus Hill, Aeropagus Hill, as well as Strefi Hill. as well as we like hiking when it’s cooler, so this should be fun.
4. getting lost in Plaka
Standing in the shadow of the Acropolis is the maze-like community of Plaka, the oldest district of Athens. since of its proximity to the Acropolis, it is dubbed the village of the Gods. My curiosity is definitely piqued!
Online accounts motivate keeping an eye on the colors as well as design of the homes here, in addition to dining at a cafe.
5. Greek Food Trip
Ah, I keep in mind a half-Greek buddy who got somewhat upset with me years back when I stated I wasn’t a fan of Greek food. “Don’t judge an entire cuisine if you haven’t visited the country yet,” he quipped.
Again, that was years ago. At the time, I wasn’t truly into Japanese food either, however when I lastly seT piede in Giappone e ho avuto un assaggio del loro cibo in tutta la sua autentica gloria, sono stato venduto. esatto lo stesso con il cibo coreano. Quindi sono entusiasta di unirmi a tour alimentari greci per un apprezzamento molto migliore e più informato!
Poiché la stagione di Yuletide è qui, molto probabilmente dovrei aspettarmi che i panifici siano pieni di file e file di melomakarona, piccole torte a forma di uovo in olio d’oliva, miele e farina.
6. L’alterazione delle guardie in Syntagma Square
Ho assistito a una serie di alterazioni delle cerimonie delle guardie in tutto il mondo, così come devo affermare che questo è uno a cui sto davvero guardando avanti. Sono stato ipnotizzato da video della routine lenta, calcolata e sincronizzata che eseguono le guardie greche (chiamate Evzones). Oltre a sì, dal momento che è una stagione non di punta, affermano che la folla turistica non sarà così enorme proprio qui.
7. Sci!
Questo non è veramente all’interno di Atene, tuttavia la stazione sciistica più vicina, il Monte Parnassos, è a poche ore di distanza. L’ultima volta che sono stato in grado di sciare è stato quattro anni fa vicino al Monte Fuji in Giappone, così come sarebbe stato meraviglioso farlo di nuovo in Grecia. Vins non l’ha mai provato, così come ho capito che gli sarebbe piaciuto. Sfortunatamente, potremmo essere anche presto per lo sci poiché il resort si apre il 15 dicembre (UGH!), Tuttavia lo sto includendo proprio qui solo in situazione che andrai ad Atene anche più tardi in questa stagione.
Così lì. Spero che qualunque cosa vada come organizzata, in particolare il bit di paracadutismo. Tuttavia, aggiorneremo questa pubblicazione dopo il viaggio per aggiungere altri suggerimenti in base all’esperienza di prima mano, quindi non mancare di ricordare di ispezionare presto!
