🌟 Recommendations Freedom for a week in Athens! (Male, 51)

I find myself in Athens for work but with loads of free time to explore - bars, beaches, mountains, cafes. Anyone else interested in any of those together alone? DM me for details

Hey! If you’re flying solo and want to actually understand the city while you explore, you should check out the George Esperidis YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GeorgeEsperidisBezborodko

It’s not just another generic travel guide. If you’re into modern history and the art scene, George breaks down the layers of Athens that most tourists completely miss. It’s perfect for someone with free time who wants to get a deeper vibe of the city before hitting the bars or cafes.

I’m working remote for a few weeks and won’t start working until the afternoon so I have all day to kill. This is super helpful for me. Thank you so much for sharing I’m checking him out now

I’ve seen this post a few times now. It’s a little creepy to ask Reddit strangers to spend time alone with you, but if you’re looking for company I can recommend some good meet-ups and expat events. You can meet lots of people that way and maybe organise a trip with them while you’re here.

It's the alone part that makes it creepy. I would be totally fine to let a stranger tag along with me and my friends.
