Is this trip right for you?
- Pickpocketing can be an issue in Athens, especially on public transport. If you keep your valuables concealed and secure while travelling on the metro or bus, you should have no problems.
- Summer temperatures in Greece can reach up to 40°C, so you'll need to be able to cope with the heat if you're visiting during the warmer months. Please consider the time of year and your suitability for visiting during that season.
