We loved Athens. It's full of history, art and culture and our early February visit meant that we could easily secure reservations at good restaurants, visit the Acropolis on a beautifully sunny - but not hot - day and avoid queues. Highly recommend

Athens is incomparable as an important, vibrant, eclectic international city. The historical relevance is literally layered one on top of the next....one cannot fully comprehend or appreciate the evolution of humankind without the context of Athens.

Fabulous city to visit! Highly recommend tours or use Rick Steves Europe App. We used at Acropolis-made the experience amazing. Recommend going early in the morning to avoid long lineups. Hop on/hop off bus terrific. Plan to return to tour coastal.

Athens is a sprawling modern city with many grungy, ageing neighborhoods. The best travel experience is staying in scenic older neighborhoods like Plaka or areas south and west of the Acropolis where walking is a joy. Nefeli is in the "sweet spot".

We bought the multi site ticket for the Acropolis but all the sites were discounted in the winter months, so we didn't actually save any money with this, definitely worth it in the summer. Eating and drinking options are great for all budgets.

This area of Athens was very authentic with cobbled streets, street cafes, restaurants &bars. Easy access to the Acropolis and other historical sites. Recommend Plaka as an area to stay in as it feels safer & is more attractive than other areas.

Don't just head for the traditional tourist areas. One of the best meals I had was in a small cafe frequented by locals in a residential neighborhood in Kerameikos. Also if you are able to, walk everywhere there are so many hidden gems to see.

Being an American I'm used to handrails everywhere-it's a safety issue. I have 2 reconstructed knees along with a heart issue and having handrails around monuments/ruins is helpful so I can enjoy all that Athens and Greece have to offer.

Love how everything in Athens was close together. We could see all the ruins within a day or two. Every street you take seems like there's something to be found which is really cool. acropolis was also amazing to see from afar and up close
"Staff was welcoming and attentive. The room was clean and the a/c was excellent and already in when we arrived to our room. The rooftop pool was a great hang out place to beat the heat. "
"Had a lovely stay at the recently renovated Electra Rhythm hotel. The staff were absolutely lovely, the rooms were great and the breakfast was amazing with the best view. This was also in a great location. "
"Excellent 5 star hotel right near all the main attractions. Restaurant on the roof close to Michelin star level and unbelievable location. Pool gorgeous. Only complaints …. Price of the bar (don’t use it) and breakfast just a bit short of 5 star. Loved it. "
