Athens Reviews -General

Busy, busy, busy... Do not stay in Athens for more than 2 days, you will get crazy from the car noise and the people yelling. I noticed that the Greeks have loud voice and talk really fast. If they want to tell you something, they talk loud and use gestures much. Our hotel was in Omonoia. This was the centre of Athens and when we arrived, the receptionist told us that we better come by taxi at night, otherwise it would be dangerous. Indeed, there were many immigrants in Omonoia, this must be one of the most declining neighbourhoods of Athens.

Be careful and always go in company. Buses in Athens are crowded and someone stole my pocket one day inside the bus. Fortunately, my passport was not in it, I had only my money and an HSBC credit card, which I cancelled immediately. In Athens all you have to do is see the Acropolis, probably a couple of museums, have a coffee in Thissio and then leave... Step to the islands, you will like Greece better there...
