Athens Metro
With taxies on strike, I rode the popular Athens Metro from the airport to my Airbnb apartment located in Exarcheia, a neighbourhood in central Athens.
Thankfully included in the Airbnb House Guide was information on what metro lines to travel on to get me there.
I was soon on my way.
Michael and I’s travels through Milan and Paris taught me how to navigate these city trains.
I felt like an experienced traveler ready to tackle this Mediterranean Metro system.
A Great Way To Travel
Taking the train allowed me to see the countryside.
One detail of the landscape that surprised me was how brown it is. It’s like this combination of desert and temperate/greenery terrain.
I was excited to see so many olive trees.
Buskers
Like Paris, there were buskers on the train.
Unlike Paris, these buskers were children.
The girl playing accordion is teamed up with the young girl in the pink t-shirt. One plays the music. The other asks for money.
Young pink t-shirt girl was very aggressive with asking for money. She tapped me with the cup, then looked me straight in the eye while shaking it at me. I declined. I wasn’t in the mood for it.
