I felt so excited this morning as we would be getting our temporary Canadian passports this morning. Rolling out of bed and feeling happy, we got dressed and were ready to go. Our breakfast from the hotel was delivered to our room at 8:30 a.m. Our first in room breakfast on this trip. Though not a full hot breakfast as in other hotels we have stayed while on the Greece trip, the food items were displayed nicely on a round wooden tray and served with smiles by two lovely ladies from the hotel. It was filling for both of us.
By this time, we have learned our way around in Athens and were able to take the subway everywhere. One thing Athens has impressed us the most – its subway and public transportation system - accessible and affordable, taking us to anywhere we wanted to go in Athens.
It only cost 1.20 euro per person each trip regardless of the distance the passenger takes on the subway line. Not only that, each ticket allows the passenger 90 minutes time for reboarding. Therefore, you can run short errands and hop on hop off the subway train.
The train frequency was good when we were there and the subway stations were reasonably clean with many stations presenting arts and cultural displays educationg the public about the history of Greece or something educational. Making use of the subway stations as an educational tool and sharing with the residents and visitors alike about the history, the arts and cultural of Athens and Greece is a great idea! We also saw searching for missing person notices on its overhead monitors. This is something we can learn from Greece in North America! I would like to see something like that in our subway stations in Toronto, Canada!
Two thumbs up for Athens for its wonderful Metro system and its great use of its Metro staions as a public service to its inhabitants!
