From scaling the Great Saint Rock (Meteora) to get to the top of the tallest rock in Meteora, to catching the Acropolis (Athens) in real life, to strolling along the streets of Oia (Santorini) and catching that classic sunset shot, here is our 9-day budget guide through Athens, Santorini and Meteora: https://thetravelintern.com/greece-budget-itinerary/ We spent under S$1.5K in total, including flights and accommodation. Greece doesn t have to be all that expensive! 00:08 - Scoot Scoot flies direct from Singapore to Athens and back. We recommend getting the long-haul meal bundle from them. ATHENS 00:19 - Acropolis It s that feeling you get when you see your history textbooks come to life. You ll be able to spot the famous Parthenon columns on top of a large flat rock from almost anywhere in the city. 00:22 - Athena temple Look out for the remains of the Theatre of Dionysus and a fully reconstructed Odeon of Herodes Atticus — a functioning stone theatre that hosts Greek as well as international performances between May – October. 00:23 - Ancient Agora Here, you ll see the Stoa of Attalos and the Temple of Hephaestus. They are both reconstructed ancient buildings. 00:29 - Syntagma Square Catch the guard changing ceremony that happens hourly at Syntagma Square. It is quite an interesting ceremony to catch! 00:30 - Psyri/Omonia Area Find as many street art/murals in the Psyri area as you can! 00:34 - Food in Omonia Area Check this restaurant out for super yummy food, it s name in Google Maps is Secret Underground Restaurant. We downed 1.5L of wine straight out of barrels, a side of grilled fish, and a basket of bread, for only €20! 00:38 - Temple of Zeus Today, less than 15 columns are standing, but it is believed that there used to be 104 columns in the past. We ll leave it up to your imagination! 00:42 - Monastiraki Area We visited the Monastiraki Flea Market to get some souvenirs. SANTORINI 00:53 - Oia Area Explore the streets of Oia, and search for the ruins of an old Byzantine Castle in Oia! 00:59 - Red Beach Take a dip in Red Beach, but to reach clearer waters, you will have to swim out quite a bit. It s crowded at all times of the day though. 01:02 - Oia Castle Sunset Point It s also in Oia that everyone hopes to catch the perfect sunset shot of Santorini s classic whitewashed houses carved into clifftops overlooking the caldera filled with water. 01:11 - Amoudi Bay For adrenaline junkies, be sure to go cliff jumping at Amoudi Bay! Super fun. 01:21 - Fira Get around Fira on an ATV/scooter. 01:23 - Santo Wines Head for a winery tour at Santo Wines. Book in advance though (only available online). You can also order a set of 6, 12, or 18 tasters along with the “Santorini” platter of Greek cheese, olives and breadsticks. 01:27 Skaros Rock This place is our favourite sunset spot, over the Oia sunset spot ;-) METEORA 01:35 - Sunset Tour with Visit Meteora We found taking the Sunset Tour with Visit Meteora to be very informative and interesting. It starts from 4:30pm and ends around 9:30pm depending on when the sun sets. 01:42 - Restaurant Meteora Have some local cuisine here at Restaurant Meteora, slightly pricier but yummy, yummy food! We had two meals here. It s that good :-) 01:50 - Scrambling Tour with Visit Meteora We scaled the Great Saint Rock, the tallest rock in Meteora, during our Scrambling Tour with Visit Meteora. Again, for all the adrenaline junkies out there! You also get to marvel at the pro rock climbers along the way as well. Apart from Singapore to Athens, Scoot now also flies direct to Berlin from Singapore! Check our Berlin videos out as well! :-) ---------------------------------------------- Edited by: Hendric Tay - http://instagram.com/pohtecktoes Follow our travel guides around the world on: ► https://thetravelintern.com/ Follow us on our travel adventures on social media: ► @TheTravelIntern http://facebook.com/thetravelintern http://instagram.com/thetravelintern Learn about The Travel Intern Programme: ► https://thetravelintern.com/about-tra...
