    The Athens tram is nice, and the beach connectivity is nice and all, but as a citizen I'll say that the company needs to handle it better. The frequency is inconsistent and should get better. The connectivity is really bad for no reason, while it was better before. The lines should be Syntagma-Agia Triada, Syntagma-Asklipiio Voulas, Agia Triada-Asklipiio Voulas (The rail change that Syntagma to Agia Triada would use was already made and now it's unused). Also the expansion to Peiraius was handled poorly and the the station Akti Poseidonos was never made. Trams should get the same care as the Metro, cuz it's one of the only ways to access South Athens with railway 😅

      Line 4 and 5 being scrapped was a huge mistake, in my opinion. I used to take 5 from Fix to Voula. I just opt for a bus instead now, rather than changing trams.

    It looks like they have a good system. You can probably go from the airport to Piraeus to catch a cruise. I wonder if the graffiti tram had a bathroom for the drivers?

    • @SoloTravelPOV
      @SoloTravelPOV  3 месяца назад

      It is a great tram system! You can actually connect from the airport using the Metro system
      A bathroom in that graffiti tram would be clever!

  • @goatgamer001
    @goatgamer001 2 месяца назад

    Although the layout of the tram interchange is interesting and convenient, as there is cross-platform interchange to both directions of the costal route, the trams are not timed for instant interchange and the two lines still share a common section, which reduces capacity. Before 2021, an interchange was not required as there was a route between each two of the three legs of the network.

    Where did you change trams? For the beach?

    • @SoloTravelPOV
      @SoloTravelPOV  Месяц назад +1

      You can switch from the T6 line to T7 line at Pikrodaphne/Πικροδάφνη. There are other beach spots along the T6 line before the transfer!

  • @goatgamer001
    @goatgamer001 2 месяца назад

    In my opinion, the tram should have less frequent stops and higher speeds, like a suburban railway, as currently it is often slower than the bus routes which parallel it.

    "There's a lot of graffiti in Athens". The centre. Because you won't see them in almost any of the suburbs, and if you do, they're not nearly as many.

      As a Greek I call bullshit. Even in other areas you see graffitis everywhere, even vandalizing statues. And especially from hooligans and far left thugs.

      There is a fee for the tram, and some of the private beaches/beach clubs have a fee. There are also free beaches in Athens! I visited Kalamaki Beach here
      Sunbeds are cheap to rent at around 5-10 EUR 🌞🌞

    Athens and other European cities have to do something about graffiti. It just gives a negative vine. NYC dealt with this by continually removing it as soon as it appeared. It eventually wears out the graffiti vandals.
