Athens St Island utility Raiders

1. preparations

Because advocating free forms of tourism, tourism has never previously visited travel agency.

But this tour with colleagues recommend, select the free line arrangements. The travel agency is responsible for visa, Beijing-Athens Greece travel tickets, air tickets/ticket in tours, hotels and in the local hotel-airport/terminal shuttle, remaining in Greece of catering, tourism is its own arrangements.

Swim back feel this profound international travel service is also good, Greece; in good order, set of 4-star hotel's location and facilities are also very good.

The Club currently only Greece, although not large, but I feel it's still quite professional do tourism and travel agencies with Greece local ties, a rich tourist resources. In addition, compared to large travel agencies, management more flexible. You can join their standard product (9 may Sao Island + m Island Tour), you can also submit your own travel arrangements by their single-do for you.

Because too fond of Greece's monuments, so we for many travel agencies launched various island free line (General Athens only stay a day) is completely unacceptable.

Our plan is to stay in Athens on 6 days, take a good look around monuments, museums and churches, and in the Holy Island to be three to four days, firmly not to tour (so that the freedom to go where shopping, enjoy with fun map zoujiechuanxiang), I try to make the demand, the travel agencies have quickly give me single trip quote, and made in accordance with I require arranged from the Acropolis and the Metro station is very close to Athens TITANIA hotel and away from FIRA town not far from the Holy Island of EL GRECO Hotel, was responsible for the young man is very warm week Yang professionalism, service is in place. Personal feeling this way is also good, a travel ticket prices cheaper than myself a lot, especially during the 11 holiday, we booked a flight to and from the Turkey aviation 5800 (my colleagues to go to the month of August, when tickets are cheap, U.A.E. air tickets from just over 3000), if their online to 1 million; second, the travel agency responsible for Greece in the territory of the hotel-airport/terminal shuttle, easy very labor-saving, three is the most important point: the travel agent can fully in accordance with the requirements of customers to tailor-made itinerary, truly free.

Come back later and I feel very satisfied, so I decided to recommend to everyone: Yang 51282989-8016 or 13488787350, quality of the Aegean Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, profound international travel service, Chaoyang District, Wanda Plaza, Jianguo rode 93 # 2103, building 1.

The second chapter, Athens

For the life of big cities in China used for Athens city is very small, and the main attractions are concentrated in less than 4 km of the PLAKA district.

The main attraction you can reach the Metro, so if you live in the South of the OMONIA square, the ACROPOLIS to the North of the region, you can walk to reach the basic most attractions, very conducive to self-tour. We spent 6 days in Athens, swimming for most of the names and number of unlisted attractions and surrounding areas, sea Temple of Delphi. Based on personal experience, these attractions are divided into two levels, for your reference:

Five star: 1, 2, 2, 3, new Acropolis Museum, ancient market (AGORA, fire temple and pillars, Museum), 4, 5, Su FILOPAPPOS HILL Emmanuel angle of sea Temple temple of Zeus, 6, 7, MITROPOLI Church.

4-star: 1, National Archaeological Museum 2, Benaki Museum, 3, 4, Tower, FENGSHEN LYKAVITTOS HILL 5, Athens arts 6, the city's other small churches and museums.

(Including the Byzantine Museum, base Clardy Museum, KAPNIKAREA Church, etc.).

Special tip:

1. about Castle tickets: tickets and travel brochures on all 4 days, perhaps the most rarely someone on the Castle so crazy it, nobody mentioned 12 Europe-tail on the castle can only be used once, because it and six other attractions is that distinguishes and cannot mix (the other six can be mixed as long as no more than 6 times).

Our first day impatiently awaited the admiration of the city, but that day is a bit of a hurry, I haven't seen enough, but a bit cloudy, unfavorable photograph. Then we go to see the Castle again, had to be very depressed and bought a ticket (if you want to go to the castle can only buy 12 Europe-tail, and other attractions can be single-buy), take the 24 European! but for the sake of my beloved Pate farmers and Rick Matignon, value! Additionally we also found that in fact there is no date on the ticket, unable to judge whether expired, so we came back from the Holy Island, in fact, as early as after 4 days, but do not miss!

2. with regard to the Athens Metro: Athens subway ticket 1 euro a piece (ticket on the bus are universal, but haven't tried it), a days valid and to buy tickets by consciously, get no barriers (bearer who consciously to clock) never seen someone checked, but the penalty was said once you grasp the

Very hard. Recommendations have the opportunity or by a corporation, especially two station SYNTAGMA and the ACROPOLIS, the Metro station is art, which are built when the rescue excavation of Metro's heritage of many of the station. But the weekend long interval time, luck would wait less than ten minutes.

3. If you want to take a panoramic view of the Acropolis and Atticus Theatre, you can go to the East of the city, close to Castle Hill FILOPPAPOS, mountains are not very expensive, and all the way to green, very pretty, is photographed sunset of the city's best agency, you can also look at the Castle at night in the mountains (but the mountains are rarely in the daytime, evening and I do not know whether sufficient security).

If you have time, manual or you can also go in the morning, you can climb the highest Athens LYKAVITTOS HILL (elevation 2, 3, 100 meters), overlooking Athens panorama and horizon side of Piraeus port and the Aegean Sea, great view, there is also a small chapel on the Hill.

We live in TITANIA Hotel OLIVE GARDEN on the roof there is a restaurant, overlooking the city, the landscape is very good.

Restaurant with SPECIAL MENU on with mushroom sauce (optional)-grilled beef tenderloin is delicious (for 2 persons, 64 '), you can enjoy delicious food at the same time appreciate not far from the castle is lit at night.

Because the city is on a hill, and most of Athens's architecture is not high, so close to the city of proximity and floors high and many hotel should have towards the Acropolis, only proximity, angle, the difference between good and bad.

4, even if time is limited, it is strongly recommended that after you finish the tour toured the city at the new Acropolis Museum.

The Museum is transparent glass all around, inside you can see the city, and there are many things about Pat farmers were laid against the original pattern. You can see in the city of El Rick Matignon women like column is that authentic are placed in the new Acropolis Museum, in addition to the vacancy left the second also in British Museum. Since June of this year has just opened, so the tickets before the end of this year are only 1 euro!

5. the above attractions only sunion farther away from Athens (70 km south of Athens), drive 1 and a half to 2 hours.

You can participate in the local tourism company's half-day tour, because it is to watch the sunset, so are all afternoon, one person, 40 euro (including tickets). But I still recommend themselves to go by bus (fare 5 European multipoint), because the traffic is very convenient, the Bus terminus at Mavromateon Street Mavromateon Bus Terminal, from the Archaeological Museum North walk 200 meters, the TOU AREOS Park PEDIOU gate on the left side of the street), the whole station are the same, but leave the two lines, one along the coastline, one is walking road, cross-departure every half hour (whole and half-point). I sat back and forth are all along the West coast of the line, when the Sun is shining, one can enjoy the beach and the sea, very nice. Back when it was dark, but Attica coast Street lamp even into one beautiful arc, don't have the mood. The most important bus bus: 7: 30, just watching the sunset, but with the travel company, is more than just 4 points, 6 points back to the left and right are back to Athens, would not be able to see the real sunset, but also more expensive than myself doubled, price is too low!

6. If you have time, you can go to the North of Athens, Delphi sites about one-way ride 3 hours, there are many tour companies offer one-day, 90 euro (including lunch, guided tours, tickets), if you want to have to go, you can also set with travel agencies in China, the basic price.

It is an archaeological site in mountainous areas, with the city of Athens is a different feeling. You can also choose your own seat coach, but the station (Terminal B, Liosion Street, OMONIA square, nearby sat 24 bus you can reach) is a bit far from the city centre, not too convenient.

7, near the OMONIA square, three representatives of the National Library of neoclassical architecture, the University of Athens and Athens School of the arts is very beautiful.

Especially Athens School of the arts, the above is a very fine carving, a very high artistic value. Evening light at night is also not to be missed.

8, the Museum's open-closed, rest of the time, it is recommended that you do the homework online, so that the white race.

9, Athens over are baby, it's all too easy to step on heritage.

All attractions are many dilapidated stone, don't underestimate them, are the first pictures doubtful, when they accidentally stepped up, there will be a management personnel rushed you whistle drink only. Me and her husband on their respective were blown once, also saw many people being blown, than it is for the football ground of post sooner. It can be considered an experience.

10, Beijing-there is no direct flight to Athens flights through European cities or Dubai, we sat in Turkey flights to spare in transit is also reasonable, and has only three hours, and the U.A.E. air to time 5 hours, come back to stop 7, 8 hour, one-way to 20 hours or so, I feel almost to South America, good horror! it is recommended that you selected when you are concerned about fares flights, also see the turnaround time.

Third, the Holy Island chapter

Because of the obsession with beautiful blue and white on the island of the world, so these days are frequents the town "Ting station Pavilion" and streets of the alley.

Personally think that the Holy Island of town elegant, absolutely first-rate, volcanic, beach can only be regarded as the second and third stream level, not at it (by the way recommended me to go to the beginning of the Philippines, where the Lake and mountains, Mountain Lake Tal volcano, have a perfect cone of the volcano and fiction to white beach is famous for its long beach I.). Modern Athens downtown of the city has made me very sad, can't imagine even those old ugly modern buildings of the architect's ancestors in 2500 years created the great city of ancient Greece man! artistic attainments do not inherit the Holy Island? after releaseSo a lot of original art or into Greece in the blood, they are in the new century with a new presentation in front of us, whether it is on the corner of a small sculpture, small pots, or wall hangings, store signs, seemingly inadvertently, little is so unique and interesting, full of spirituality, in the Eastern Mediterranean hot sun shine!

Special tip:

1, preferably before going to San Island wanted to know where you want to live in, because the ship arrives, the dock will have many hotels are found.

If you wish to see the small charming buildings on the island, or go to the felt in the island's main attractions (volcanoes, hot springs and the beach, etc.), it is recommended you live near the FIRA town, FIRA, the capital of the island because of the town itself is beautiful, and is the hub of the island. No matter where, from FIRA town sitting in different lines of bus. If you wish to visit in the Aegean Sea, that you can choose to live near the BEACH, but be prepared for St. Island Beach Basic are stone Beach, sandy beach of Hainan, South-East Asia, far (because I looked up some information before, so this is not to eat any BEACH, one day a couple of Shanghai, that is the most famous of the three: KAMARI BEACH, PARISSA BEACH there is a corner of the island's forgot what they all went to the BEACH, a bit of a disappointment).

2. in addition to FIRA and OIA town, it is strongly recommended that before going to the town of Imerovigli town look, you can always walk along the coast from FIRA to end, most Imerovigli also has a small Habitat with a dilapidated scenery all the way to the ancient castle, very good, single trip takes approximately 1 hour.

Stroll around the town, be sure to remember it, back, another way to look at just a House, often find better viewing angles. Slowly stroll, finely commodities, there is taste.

3, OIA sunset individuals feel more like a tourist propaganda material, I was known as the best shooting point of the platform, discovered the location of the sunset will be partial in the background on the right side of the island, so that the composition of photos shot out like FIRA that absolutely precisely the two shapes between different islands.

There's only one advantage is that you can simultaneously observation platform at the left of the right of the sunset on the sea and the sunset OIA town. In addition to all the noisy crowd medium sunset to watch the sunset mood will be greatly diminished, so immediately decided to return to the FIRA to find a quiet open slowly waiting for sunset.

4, the island has three restaurants left a deep impression.

First of all recommended is FIRA town of SELENE, we happened to be on the island twice seen people in banquet (where the bride and groom riding a donkey up very interesting), but are visible in the restaurant, very famous. We have a day at noon when shopping town found along the way there is a signpost pointing at SELENE, rumbling, searching standard, and found that actually is this wedding restaurant! went to eat a meal, linhai, location, quality and service standards of absolute-star, is just a smaller amount of vegetables, price is a little expensive. Recommended recipe: smoked Octopus, bread rolls, a fish (taste absolutely live fish!), taste similar volumes into ham round barbecue.

OIA town of Thomas Grill restaurant, from the FIRA by bus to OIA, just get off to the left of the beginning of the small alley, next to the BLUE SKY restaurant.

Most shines is recipe-text with the six countries with colour, glossy, Chinese! small to my sense of national pride. Tablecloth and napkin pattern is also very interesting, India is the light version of St. THOMAS island map! boss who is enthusiastic, Chinese say hello to you, probably because I admire his meals and recipes, even, she sent us a nice map of the island of Saint! recommended recipe: potato stew and a B Word begins with Greece local desserts.

Imerovigli town of Blue Note restaurant, linhai, location excellent, eat good, it is not expensive, recommended recipe: GRILLED OCTOPUS (a large Octopus legs), GRILLED SAMON (a large piece of salmon fish).

In addition, local specialties Stuffed tomato is also worth a try (tomatoes in coloured rice and vegetables, baked in the oven, taste sweet and sour, it is recommended to eat soup).

5, from FIRA town bus station or the largest church in the South for about 300 m there is a better Carrefour supermarkets, sale of water is cheap, and a large bottle of mineral water (less than 1 litre), bundled around 0.3 Europe filled (6 bottles) can be cheaper, and business to 9 pm.
