The most convenient way to travel around the Aegean Islands is to take a one-day sightseeing boat. You can travel around Aegean, poros and Izra in one day. Locals also regard these three islands as the first choice for weekend leisure and vacation. In particular, Izra, which is considered to be the most beautiful of the three islands, is a year in which tourists gather. The distance between the islands is about 1 hour, and the travel expenses are relatively economical. 5 euros includes the cost of going to the island and a lunch on board. The sightseeing boat sails from the old Farillo port in Athens at 8: 3 every day and returns to the departure port at 7: 3 in the evening. During the voyage, there are Greek song and dance performances on board, and tourists can join in, gather around and sing and dance.

There are three subway lines in Athens. It's very convenient to take the whole journey and swim all over the city. You have to take a boat to go to those small islands in the Aegean Sea. However, the frequency of the ferry is very few, and sometimes it will be cancelled at any time for no reason. Be sure to ask in advance.

Greek heavy oil. Greek salad with feta cheese on it, Greek barbecue everywhere, Greek coffee with a mouthful of coffee grounds, and oily fried squid are all delicious foods for gluttons. There is also the Greek wine Ouzo with an alcohol content of about 4%. When drinking it, it has to be mixed with water, and its color is turbid. As for paella, it is not recommended. Just a few shellfish, the Greek paella is not as good as the Spanish. Rice is not cooked well either. It makes people suspect that it is the same method for Europeans to cook rice. Take a pot of rice and boil it, then take it out and wash it with water.

■ Attractions

Plaka is the most lively and fragrant place in Athens. Clothing shops, souvenir shops selling carpets, silverware and pottery pots, and open-air restaurants and cafes go from house to house. Walking in two, there is an Orthodox chapel in Byzantine. The streets in Plaka are narrow and tortuous, and the paths are complicated, some of which are like the Jewish quarter in Seville. Most of the Greek cultural relics are collected in the British Museum. But those dead goods are carefully supplied in the glass cabinet, no matter how soft the light is, they can't show the charm of the year. Under the sun in Athens, it is the remains accumulated by the sun and the moon, but they are fresh and lush.

■ Tips

1. The English level of the Greeks is not low. If you want to ask for directions, you can appreciate the enthusiasm of the Mediterranean people like volcanic eruption; And the rich people sitting in expensive cars, their meekness makes people feel like spring breeze.

2. It is still freezing in Greece in April, so keep warm.

3. Wild cats and dogs in the streets of Athens form a world of their own. There is a police station around my hotel, and an old black dog lies beside the sentry box every day. Slouching, but the police don't care. Tourists who are afraid of cats and dogs should be careful. It costs about 8 ~ 1 Euros a day-if the accommodation is a separate bathroom, it costs about 5 Euros, and the public bathroom in a youth hostel costs 25 ~ 3 Euros/day. If you save 2 euros/day, you can only eat fast food like Pizza,Pitta, the local transportation and tickets are 2 euros, and the round-trip air ticket for 1 euros is 35 ~ 8, depending on which one you book, the visa fee is 6RMB, the insurance is 2 ~ 3 RMB, and the round-trip ticket from Athens to Shengdao or Midao is more than 6 euros.

therefore, the minimum consumption is 8 * 7 * 1+35+6+2+65 * 1 = 155 RMB, but it will be tight in the peak season of July/August, so it is better to have a loose budget. You don't have to pay for the plane ticket to subtract that part, and the rest is the approximate cost you need.
