Good questions
When is the best time to visit the Acropolis?
To avoid the biggest crowds and the midday heat, especially in summer, aim to visit as soon as it opens in the morning or later in the afternoon, about two hours before closing.
Is it easy to visit the Greek islands from Athens?
Yes, very easy. The port of Piraeus is directly connected to the city centre by the metro (Green Line). From there, you can catch ferries to countless islands like Aegina, Hydra, Mykonos, and Santorini.
What is the 'quiet hours' rule in Greece?
Greece observes legally mandated 'quiet hours', typically from 3 PM to 5:30 PM and from 11 PM to 7 AM. Be mindful of noise levels during these times, especially in residential areas.
