You can read about hotels, restaurants, archaeological sites, nightlife, beaches and day-trips to nearby islands and beaches and towns on the mainland. My Athens Guide may not be as high tech as some of the other travel sites but I think you will find it to be the most fun to use and probably find it to be at least as helpful as the popular guide books, exceptthis isfree.

It also has sections on mainland day-trips and overnight trips, and various services who can get you out of Athens. For those of you who are going to the Greek Islands I suggest you visit my GreekIsland Guide too. One WeekSailing Cruisesto the Greek Islands Greek Island Hotels, Rooms and Villas Search This section has a lot of important stuff, some articles written in a fun and whimsical fashion and other articles quite dry and boring but nonetheless useful. I have also included some of the articles that are featured in the sections above but are just as suited to this section. In fact the stuff I want you to read because I think it is important to you (or to me) I may have listed two or three times in this index. If you have an idea of what you want to do in Greece use my Create-an-itinerary Form It's fun. You fill out the form and choose the islands and how many days you want to stay, any tours, and what your budget is and click send and in a few hours a travel agency replies with a plan for you. These are photos I have taken over the years and several articles that I could not decide where else to put them. Many of these pages are linked to from other pages above but some are not. There are also links to photo albums on some of my other websites. In fact you can see most of my best photos by going to www.greecetravel.com/photos Please Help Support this Guide: When I had to find a way to support my website I had 2 choices. I could use modern advertising technology like most sites use with pay-per-click ads all over my pages and spy-ware that collects information and posts the ads each individual reader is most likely to click on. Or I could choose to promote a handful of travel agents, and a reliable hotel booking system and keep my sites relatively ad free. No obnoxious pop-ups, fake news articles, or gathering of information through cookies. I chose the second. But it was risky. My ability to support myself would depend on the success of the travel agents and hotels on my website and for 24 years this worked. But then came COVID-19 and the bookings stopped. I could join the crowd and place pay-per-click ads on every page of my site as a temporary measure to generate some income. But to be honest I think it ruins even the best websites. And to install technology that spies on my readers seems like a betrayal even though pretty much everybody does it. So instead I ask you readers who enjoy my sites if you can send a donation through Paypal any amount is helpful. Or you can use Venmo at venmo.com/Matt-Barrett-Greece.If you prefer to send a check you can email me. Thank you for your support! If you find my Athens Survival Guide useful and you would like to show your appreciation why not let people know about the site on the numerous travel boards on the internet or linking to it from your blog or website. Because I don't have the big advertising budgets of the major travel sites many people don't find me until after they have made all their plans and wish they had found my information sooner.
