Finding anonymous corners while presented with charming landscapes that seem to be the reason for a series of mythologies to emerge is a bit of a temptation to go to the island nation. What can you do in Athens? Here are some activities that you can visit

  1. Sightseeing in the Acropolis Architecture

If you only have one place you can visit in Athens, the Acropolis is the answer. This area is one proof of Greek civilization that was built in the 5th century BC. Even now it is not known exactly how technology at that time could build this grand building. For those who want to come here, try going in the morning or evening, especially in the summer. Because it’s really hot here! You must do a bit trekking up the stairs which is quite long. Acropolis means upper city. So many buildings that are considered important and sacred are built here. Like the Parthenon and Erecthion. Because of its height, we can see the beautiful city of Athens from above.

  1. Try Greek special cuisine

Bairaktaris is a typical Greek restaurant that has been around since 1879. There are many blog sites that recommend this restaurant. Because Greece is next to Turkey, there are many similar foods. One of them is Gyros. It is Greece Kebab! Greek food always relies on yogurt and olive oil as a condiment. For Gyros sauce or French fries that are served, you must use Tzatziki. This sauce is made using Greek yogurt, cucumber, olive oil, and lemon. It feels very fresh and suitable as a dipping sauce to compensate for the fat of gyros and french fries. Not to forget also the Greek salad that is always there as a side dish. Pieces of tomatoes, cucumbers, shallots, oregano doused with olive oil are also very good for provoking our appetite. Don’t forget also Baklava and coffee to start your day!

Traveling alone is fun. You don’t have to compromise following anyone’s will, and you are free to determine where you are going. Even though alone, traveling solo is also not synonymous with loneliness. It’s precisely because you’re alone that you can focus on getting to know new friends on the trip instead of sticking with your gang mates.

Why Don’t You Travel Alone?

For those who have never tried it themselves, the thrill of traveling solo, there must be a feeling of fear and anxiety.

The Strategy To Find Cheap Flights Even Not Promo

Posted on December 21, 2016August 14, 2018 by Aaron Regner

In 2013, all low budget airlines competed to provide cheap airline ticket prices. At that time we can go to Medan by Jakarta just pay 110.00 IDR for an airline ticket. But, now the regulation has changed. To get the cheap airline tickets are a little bit difficult. But it doesn’t mean impossible. Because, being able to get cheap airline tickets is a fortune, but also need an effort. This is the strategy to get the cheap airlines ticket.

Determined Where You Will Go

Your goal is to determine the best time to buy a ticket to get the cheapest price. If you preferred route which route that many airlines serve such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Japan, and China, so you should be smart to read the prices, because the price tends the fluctuate. So if you find one price you can think is the cheapest price you can get, I suggest that you buy the ticket right away. But if the route that you choose is a route that not served by a low-budget airline or not a crowded tourist rote, so whenever you buy the ticket, both one months or even a week before departure, the price will not show a significant difference.

Pay Attention To The Airlines

After choosing the route, pay attention to the airlines that serve the route. The trend is the Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) it means that the price is cheaper if ordered from a long time before and increases if ordered only a few weeks or days before departure. While full-service airlines tend to apply year-round fare on the price of airlines tickets so that it is more or less the same throughout the year. In fact, sometimes the price of full-service airline tickets can be cheaper than LCC if we buy them closer to the day departure.

The Period Of Trip

You may attention to cay you go and go back home. Weekends, long weekends, and holiday seasons are always expensive. So, try to vacation in the low season period such as September-November and February-April. Besides that, flight days and return determine the price of your ticket. The combination of Friday-Sunday, Friday-Monday, Saturday-Sunday, or Saturday-Monday is the most expensive combination. If you want to find the low price you need to make a day combinations Tuesday-Thursday, Wednesday-Friday, Saturday-Tuesday, and Sunday-Wednesday.

Pay Attention To Your Departure Date

After selecting the day, you may also pay attention to your departure date. Based on the observation the airplanes ticket on the 20’s tends to be cheaper than the beginning or mid-month. This could be because the airlines consider that the 20th is an old date and some people no money anymore to make a trip. So, the airline also provides low prices in this period, so that their seats are will be filled.

The Trend Of The Airlines Promo

You need to follow the airline newsletter, like follow airline social media accounts, and learn about the trends. Learn when the airlines issued promos and type of promos. In this way, you will know when the airlines offered the promo and discount. In this way you may also know the average the ticket price of that airlines, so you can be lucky to find the time to get the cheapest price.

Booked Flight Via Travel Agents

Online travel agents sell many airline tickets every day at lower prices. The online travel agent companies are competing to provide discount promos for the visitor of their website. Besides that, there are still discounts given if you use the application. There are also discount given through credit card promos. You can install the travel agent applications on Google Play or the App Store.
