ATENE mi ha SORPRESO più del previsto 🇬🇷

I was supposed to start this trip in Asia... but things didn't go exactly as planned. First stop: Athens. A city that wasn't in the plans, but turned out to be much more interesting than I imagined. In this episode, I explore the historic center, amidst ancient Greek ruins, quaint neighborhoods, and incredible views of the Acropolis. From Areopagus Hill to Plaka, passing through Monastiraki and Syntagma Square with the changing of the guard. And then something I didn't expect: less than an hour from the center, you can reach the sea. So I take the metro to Elliniko and then the bus to Vouliagmeni, a town on the Athens Riviera, perfect for a break from the city. A slightly different start to the trip than expected... but perhaps for that very reason, even more interesting. This is just the first episode of a month of solo travel... and the next stops won't exactly be predictable. ⸻ 📍 Places in the video Acropolis Areopagus Hill Plaka Monastiraki Syntagma Square Vouliagmeni 📸 Follow me also on… Instagram (@cciacomo): [  / cciacomo  ] TikTok: [  / giacomopiva_  ] ⸻ 🔗 USEFUL TRAVEL LINKS 🛡️ Heymondo Travel Insurance – essential when traveling! ➡️ [https://heymondo.it/?utm_medium=Afili...] 📡 eSIM – Holafly ➡️ [https://holafly.sjv.io/raX2rd] 💳 NordVPN – For secure internet use ➡️ [https://go.nordvpn.net/aff_c?offer_id...] ⸻ 🎒 WHAT DO I USE TO RECORD?
