Nice impressions

We stayed for three days in Athens and it didn't seem to us as dangerous as we believed. Yes, there were many immigrants in the streets and some neighbourhoods seemed like ghetos, but they wouldn't hurt or threaten you. Omonoia was a bit scary after sunset but nothing happened to make us feel... More >
Busy and dangerous

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... More >
Things are strange in Athens, you will find calm areas where noise is not at all heard like Thissio and other areas where your ears will get pain from loud. We stayed there for three days before we go to Mykonos and had the chance to see amny ancient sites (the Acropolis of course, the Ancient... More >
My month in Athens

The Acropolis is the symbol of Athens, of course, but there are so many other things to discover in this town. I stayed there for almost a month last winter as my boyfriend in on an Exchange University Program and studies there till the middle of summer. The weather was pretty good for winter, not... More >
This was my first time to Athens and I was really disappointed by the terrible treatment of animals in Athens and Greece, in general. Stray cats and dogs suffer every day. It is a shame that they don't have a home to take care of them, give them food and warm. Something must be done because the... More >
A church in every corner

As I am Turkish (and Muslim), I don't see Christian churches often, so apart from the ancient sites, the churches of Athens impressed me the most. I was in the Greek capital about 2 months ago for a conference in wine making and stayed only three days, but they were enough to see the historical... More >
Only for a few days

I expected much from Athens, but when I got there I saw that the city is not as superb as I thought. The archaeological sites were certainly interesting, but the organization needed impovement. A tourist needs to know exactly when the archaeological sites are open and this was quite difficult... More >
On our last visit to Athens, we rented a car and made the tour of Attica. We didn't want to stuck in the centre of the town again, as we had seen almost all of it in our two previous visits. So, we explored new neighbourhoods, the beaches till Sounio, the town of Lavrio and the lake of Marathon. My... More >
Great for sightseeing

Not one of the most beautiful European capitals, but certainly a must see in Greece. You can't go to the Greek islands, without spending at least four-five days in Athens. Athens is a great place for sightseeing as there are many ancient, Roman and Byzantine remains spread around the city. The... More >

Athens is the place to be for me when I go to Greece.
Since Eurovision and Games, a lot changed, but it is still nice to be there.
Long walks around the Acropolis, a lot of museums, nice restaurants and wonderfull bars, and always good wheather. What else do you want more?
Enjoy... More >
