Full Description:
Travelling with my 84-year-old mum to Athens was my Christmas present to her-but also a test:
Could we enjoy a proper city break on a tight budget… without compromising either of our experiences?
This video breaks down exactly how we spent 3 days in Athens-including:
🛏️ Budget accommodation (with a lift and a balcony!)
🍽️ Where we ate-without overspending
🚇 How we got around easily
📍 The must-see spots that worked for both of us
🚌 A 15-hour coach trip to Meteora-worth it?
💸 Total cost: £96 each for flights + hotel, plus £440 for everything else (food, activities, even a Greek island detour). That's just £70/day per person.
Whether you're planning a trip with a parent or just want a smart way to do Athens, this video shows how accessible, enjoyable, and surprisingly affordable it can be.
