Athens on a Pint-Sized Budget, Greece

#europeonbudget Athens on a Pint-Sized Budget, Greece Athens didn’t feel overpriced — it felt open, inviting, and full of history you could touch without draining your savings. I booked a hostel room overlooking the Acropolis lit at night. Each morning I fueled on street-vendor souvlaki and a frappe for under €3. I walked the ancient streets and visited the Agora and much of the archaeological site with the combined ticket, saving by going early. Evenings I opted for tavernas on less-touristy side streets, where grilled halloumi and Greek salad plus house wine cost less than many fast-food meals elsewhere. I ended one night on Areopagus Hill, sitting on the rock as philosophers centuries ago did, watching Athens glow. Travel doesn’t need to be expensive to be unforgettable — Athens proved that cheap can be rich. #europeonbudget #falladventures
