Let's visit the famous Pathenon of Athens in the discovery mode for Assassin's Creed Odyssey!

Greece Budget Guide — 9D Athens, Santorini, Meteora under S$1.5K (All-In!) | The Travel Intern
From scaling the Great Saint Rock (Meteora) to get to the top of the tallest rock in Meteora, to catching the Acropolis (Athens) in real life, to strolling along the streets of Oia (Santorini) and catching that classic sunset shot, here is our 9-day budget guide through Athens, Santorini and Meteora:
We spent under S$1.5K in total, including flights and accommodation. Greece doesn't have to be all that expensive!
00:08 - Scoot
Scoot flies direct from Singapore to Athens and back. We recommend getting the long-haul meal bundle from them.
ATHENS
00:19 - Acropolis
It's that feeling you get when you see your history textbooks come to life. You'll be able to spot the famous Parthenon columns on top of a large flat rock from almost anywhere in the city.
00:22 - Athena temple
Look out for the remains of the Theatre of Dionysus and a fully reconstructed Odeon of Herodes Atticus — a functioning stone theatre that hosts Greek as well as international performances between May – October.
00:23 - Ancient Agora
Here, you'll see the Stoa of Attalos and the Temple of Hephaestus. They are both reconstructed ancient buildings.
00:29 - Syntagma Square
Catch the guard changing ceremony that happens hourly at Syntagma Square. It is quite an interesting ceremony to catch!
00:30 - Psyri/Omonia Area
Find as many street art/murals in the Psyri area as you can!
00:34 - Food in Omonia Area
Check this restaurant out for super yummy food, it's name in Google Maps is Secret Underground Restaurant.
We downed 1.5L of wine straight out of barrels, a side of grilled fish, and a basket of bread, for only €20!
00:38 - Temple of Zeus
Today, less than 15 columns are standing, but it is believed that there used to be 104 columns in the past. We'll leave it up to your imagination!
00:42 - Monastiraki Area
We visited the Monastiraki Flea Market to get some souvenirs.
SANTORINI
00:53 - Oia Area
Explore the streets of Oia, and search for the ruins of an old Byzantine Castle in Oia!
00:59 - Red Beach
Take a dip in Red Beach, but to reach clearer waters, you will have to swim out quite a bit. It's crowded at all times of the day though.
01:02 - Oia Castle Sunset Point
It's also in Oia that everyone hopes to catch the perfect sunset shot of Santorini's classic whitewashed houses carved into clifftops overlooking the caldera filled with water.
01:11 - Amoudi Bay
For adrenaline junkies, be sure to go cliff jumping at Amoudi Bay! Super fun.
01:21 - Fira
Get around Fira on an ATV/scooter.
01:23 - Santo Wines
Head for a winery tour at Santo Wines. Book in advance though (only available online). You can also order a set of 6, 12, or 18 tasters along with the “Santorini” platter of Greek cheese, olives and breadsticks.
01:27 Skaros Rock
This place is our favourite sunset spot, over the Oia sunset spot ;-)
METEORA
01:35 - Sunset Tour with Visit Meteora
We found taking the Sunset Tour with Visit Meteora to be very informative and interesting. It starts from 4:30pm and ends around 9:30pm depending on when the sun sets.
01:42 - Restaurant Meteora
Have some local cuisine here at Restaurant Meteora, slightly pricier but yummy, yummy food! We had two meals here. It's that good :-)
01:50 - Scrambling Tour with Visit Meteora
We scaled the Great Saint Rock, the tallest rock in Meteora, during our Scrambling Tour with Visit Meteora. Again, for all the adrenaline junkies out there! You also get to marvel at the pro rock climbers along the way as well.
Apart from Singapore to Athens, Scoot now also flies direct to Berlin from Singapore! Check our Berlin videos out as well! :-)

TRIP TO ATHENS - GREECE
Athens (/ˈæθɨnz/;[1] Modern Greek: Αθήνα, Athína, IPA: [aˈθina], Katharevousa: Ἀθῆναι, Athine, Ancient Greek: Ἀθῆναι, Athēnai), is the capital and largest city of Greece. Athens dominates the Attica periphery and is one of the world's oldest cities, as its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. Classical Athens was a powerful city-state. A centre for the arts, learning and philosophy, home of Plato's Academy and Aristotle's Lyceum,[2][3] it is widely referred to as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy,[4][5] largely due to the impact of its cultural and political achievements during the 5th and 4th centuries BC on the rest of the then known European continent.[6] Today a cosmopolitan metropolis, modern Athens is central to economic, financial, industrial, political and cultural life in Greece and it is rated as an Alpha world city.[7] In 2008, Athens was ranked the world's 32nd richest city by purchasing power[8] and the 25th most expensive[9] in a UBS study.
The Greek capital has a population of 655,780[10] (796,442 back in 2004)[11] within its administrative limits[12] and a land area of 39 km2 (15 sq mi).[13] The urban area of Athens (Greater Athens and Greater Piraeus) extends beyond the administrative municipal city limits, with a population of 3,074,160 (in 2011),[14] over an area of 412 km2 (159 sq mi).[13] According to Eurostat, the Athens Larger Urban Zone (LUZ) is the 7th most populous LUZ in the European Union (the 4th most populous capital city of the EU) with a population of 4,013,368 (in 2004).
The heritage of the classical era is still evident in the city, represented by a number of ancient monuments and works of art, the most famous of all being the Parthenon, widely considered a key landmark of early Western civilization. The city also retains a vast variety of Roman and Byzantine monuments, as well as a smaller number of remaining Ottoman monuments projecting the city's long history across the centuries. Athens is home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Acropolis of Athens and the medieval Daphni Monastery. Landmarks of the modern era, dating back to the establishment of Athens as the capital of the independent Greek state in 1833, include the Hellenic Parliament (19th century) and the Athens Trilogy consisting of the National Library of Greece, the Athens University and the Academy of Athens. Athens was the host city of the first modern-day Olympic Games in 1896, and 108 years later it welcomed home the 2004 Summer Olympics.[15] Athens is home to the National Archeological Museum, featuring the world's largest collection of ancient Greek antiquities, as well as the new Acropolis Museum.
The city of Athens contains a variety of different architectural styles, ranging from Greco-Roman, Neo-Classical, to modern. They are often to be found in the same areas, as Athens is not marked by a uniformity of architectural style. Many of the most prominent buildings of the city are either Greco-Roman or neo-classical in styling. Some of the neo-classical structures to be found are public buildings erected during the mid-19th century, under the guidance of Theophil Freiherr von Hansen and Ernst Ziller, and include the Athens Academy, Athens City Hall, Greek Parliament, Old Parliament (1875--1932) (Now the National Historical Museum),[50] University of Athens, and Zappeion Hall.
Beginning in the 1930s, the International style and other architectural movements such as Bauhaus and Art Deco began to exert an influence on almost all Greek architects, and many buildings both public and private were constructed in accordance with these styles. Localities with a great number of such buildings include Kolonaki, and some areas of the centre of the city; neighbourhoods developed in this period include Kypseli.
In the 1950s and 1960s during the vast extension and development of Athens, modern architecture played a very important role. The centre of Athens was largely rebuilt, leading to the demolition of a number of neoclassical buildings. The architects of this era employed materials such as glass, marble and aluminium, while some blended modern and classical elements. After World War II, internationally known architects to have designed and built in the city included Walter Gropius, with his design for the US Embassy, and, amongst others, Eero Saarinen, in his postwar design for the east terminal of the Ellinikon Airport.
Notable Greek architects of the 1930s--1960s included Konstantinos Doxiadis, Dimitris Pikionis, Pericles A. Sakellarios, Aris Konstantinidis and others.
Photos and video were taken with a Nikon COOLPIX P100, not the newer Nikon COOLPIX P500. But performance and features should be almost identical.
Delphi Day tour
Depart from our terminal for one day trip from Athens to Delphi and explore one of the most famous archaelogical sites of Greece. Along the way, you will see the plain of Beotia, an agricultural center and you will also pass by the city of Theva, the birthplace of King Oedipus.
You will continue your Delphi day tour towards Mt. Parnassos, making a short rest stop outside the town of Levadia. You will then drive to DELPHI, known in ancient times as the navel of the world.

MY GREECE ITINERARY from CANADA! (MYKONOS ➜ SANTORINI ➜ ATHENS)
OPEN ME FOR ALLLLLLLLLL THE INFO :)
Hi guys!
Have you always wanted to go to Greece? If thats a YES and you're planning to go.. then you have stumbled on the right video!
✿✿✿✿✿
KEY TIPS:
1) There is no free water in Greece! You have to buy water everywhere you go including restaurants. (Did not know this because in Vancouver you can tap water everywhere you go!)
2) Mykonos is very windy and sandy so be prepared to get hit by some sand.
3) Renting a car or small vehicle is your best bet for getting around all the islands! The smaller the vehicle the better because their roads are extremely narrow.
4) Food can range from 12-30 euros (Touristy areas)
5) Go visit main attractions EARLY. Greece is very touristy so it get packed fast.
6) Use a Hop On/ Hop Off bus in Athens to get around. You can use it for multiple days and it'll bring you to all the main locations as well as introduce those locations to you.
7) Use Beat Ride App to get around instead of taxi's (they will rip you off!)
8) Mykonos has the most expensive souvenirs, you can get the same thing sometimes half the price in Santorini.
9) Don't ride the donkey's in Santorini, use the cable car. They are often overworked :(
10) Slap on all of the sunscreen you got because it is hot HOT HOT!
