A few practical tips for your visit to Athens:
> When in Athens set your clock an hour in advance!
> Bear the climate in mind and the ailments typically found around the Mediterranean Sea, such as diarrhoea.
> Your identity card is all you need, and inoculations are not necessary.
> The Greek currency is the euro, so you won’t need to look for a bureau de change.
> Everyone who comes into contact with tourists in Athens speaks English, so you won’t have to learn any Greek.
