Some athenian tips:
1) Unless you have nerves of steel don't drive in Athens. The only thing we obey are traffic lights and sometimes stop signs. Also pedestrians rarely have the right of way so unless someone actually stops, don't cross.
2) Do yourself a favor and ask locals. We'll probably refer you to better places than the touristy stuff that charge 50 euros for two bites worth of salad.
3) While on the local part, also ask about the sketchy areas so that you can stay away from. Most common one is Omonoia, our city centre where you should probably stay away from after 8-9 PM.
4) Internet is everywhere, every shop has free wifi and some metro stations have too. You don't actually need a SIM card or pocket Wifi unless you plan on going to rural Greece where things noticebly are older.
5) Don't go to beaches in Athens like Edem or Kalamaki. While they pass the safe surveys before season, they aren't that clean to be honest. Your starting point should be Glyfada and on.
6) We love to teach you guys our language from basic greetings all the way up to our flagship "Malaka" and other delicacies. Just translate-check everything we teach you before using it.
Cheers!

Funny that you mentioned Greek cuisine as largely influenced by the Ottoman one, for the Ottoman cuisine is vastly the Byzantine cuisine, which the Ottomans (REMINDER: Ottomans were nomads with therefore a nomadic cuisine) fully incorrporated and nowadays Turks consider just Turkish, erasing any historical memory of their nomadic past... and cuisine. The Byzantines had one of the most advanced cuisines you know.
EDIT: (I forgot my manners) Thank you for making this video!

Nice video about Greece. I visited fall 2022 and had a wonderful time. Have relatives in Athens, Northern Epirus and Corfu. They took me everywhere including Meteora ( the monestaries on the mountains in Kalambaka). In Athens enjoy the street food (gyros, souvlakia). Your video made it easy to undertand how to navigate the country. Thanks.
