Travel Hassle Free by Metro by karthiben

Travel is easy in Athens. Get a daily metro ticket at EUR4 and you get to travel all around Athens in all public transport. Greek myths and archeological sites are quite fascinating. Buy entry tickets of only EUR12 to visit all historical sites at Acropolis. Had an awesome time with my girlfriend here.

Loved the food! by welkin25

Sadly I didn’t get much time in Athens, but Parthenon was definitely breathtaking… for a moment it takes you thousands of years back in time…

Also loved the food, cheap and delicious! We didn’t know where we were going so we just picked random restaurants off the street and none of them was disappointing. And the ice cream too :)

Worth a longer stay by accentjim

Almost everything we looked at told us “Spend two days in Athens and then get out!” I could have spent much longer there! We had a wonderful time and only saw the smallest bit of what is available. Is it dirty? It’s a city, so of course it is, but it’s got a lot of personality. (From what I understand, it’s much cleaner than it was prior to the Olympics.) Enjoy Athens!

Great history here – everywhere you go, there are reminders of the past. The city never sleeps! Sometimes we end up with dinner plans at 10PM and then go out all night. Good times, good times!
