Hello Friends,<\/p>\n

My travel in Greece came in early 2022, on a long slow route back toward Vietnam \u2014 and it turned into some of the best unplanned travel I have ever done. Two cities, mostly on foot, very little booked in advance: Athens and Thessaloniki. This is the index to everything I wrote while I was there, plus the planning I have done since for the rest of the country I still want to reach.<\/p>\n

Start with the overview of the whole trip<\/a>, or dive straight into a city below.<\/p>\n

Athens, On Foot<\/h2>\n

I walked Athens into the ground, and it rewarded every mile. The ancient sites are the headline, but the real city is in the street art, the parks, and the long climbs for a view. Here is Athens the way I actually saw it.<\/p>\n

Thessaloniki, in the North<\/h2>\n

Thessaloniki is Greece\u2019s quieter second city, and I loved it \u2014 a working port town with a museum ship, a Byzantine tower, contemporary art, and even a circus. It gets a fraction of Athens\u2019 visitors and deserves far more.<\/p>\n

Getting Around & Local Life<\/h2>\n

A couple of pieces that do not belong to one city \u2014 how I got between them, and a Greek tradition I got to be part of.<\/p>\n

Planning the Rest of Greece<\/h2>\n

Here is where I am honest with you: in 2022 I only made it to Athens and Thessaloniki. The islands, Meteora, the Peloponnese \u2014 I have not reached them yet. But I plan trips obsessively, and these guides are the research I have done for a return, written to be genuinely useful. When I get there, they will become first-hand write-ups like everything above. For planning your own travel in Greece, the Greek National Tourism site<\/a> is a solid official starting point.<\/p>\n

Efharist\u00f3: Final Thoughts on Travel in Greece<\/h2>\n

My travel in Greece was the trip where I did the most walking and the least planning, and it worked out better than it had any right to. If you have wandered any of these places yourself \u2014 or think I am missing something I have to see on the return trip \u2014 I would love to hear it. Cheers.<\/p>\n
