Athens was highly rated for history by 1,797 guests from the United States!Athens Travel Guide
Dynamic City With 3400 Years of History
With the Acropolis as the jewel in the archaeological crown of Athens, this city is full of history while embracing the future. Take a stroll back in time through the neoclassical streets of the Plaka, where you'll find tavernas serving tantalizing souvlaki and mousaka, street vendors and live entertainment.
A trip to the Parthenon and the Agora top most lists and can also be appreciated from a distance by walking along the Dionysiou Aeropagitou street, which is away from the busy crowds of the city center.
The changing of the guard occurs every hour on the famous Syntagma Square. From here, Ermou Street provides shopaholics with a fashionable retail sanctuary. The upscale districts Kolonaki and Kifisia are also bursting with fancy boutiques, galleries and bars.
Athens has some of the finest museums in the world, such as the National Archaeological, Acropolis and Benaki Museums. From Athens International Airport to the Port of Piraeus, this is a city bustling with the old and new. On Booking.com you can find everything from modern hotels to a room in a classical building.

It was the best food
The city wasn’t clean but the people nice and smiling and social you feel comfartable with them
The main attractions was downtown around Acropolis and Plaka area I feel 2 to 4 days will be good
The taxis was expensive so and the metro or the buses it’s another choice but it’s hard and it take you for ever to get to your destination so maybe the best choice is a car that if you want to go out to ather places and want to explore more of the city but as I said the main attraction is around Acropolis and Plaka area so if you got your stay there you won’t be needing any transportation all will be in walking distance
The hotels there are little expensive so it’s a better choice is to get an Appartment it’s bigger and most have all the facilities and less expensive and much better choice for the families
But be careful and choose wisely look for the best ratings and location and comments for the host and the place

Capital of the best country in the world.
Capital of the best country in the world. With the longest history of any other city across tbe world.The home of great thinkers, artists, philosophers, writers, mathematicians and the list is endless. So much to do and see and have fun. Athens has many ancient landmarks for sightseeing,museaums, the ancient city,churches, many restaurants to enjoy the traditional greek cuisine, thousands of bars and dance clubs with music till the sunrise. Also , Athens, also has to offer perfect beaches near the city centre.
P.S.: Also, Greece should be the capital of the World cause Athens is the birthplace of democracy and brought civilization, largely because of its cultural and political impact on the European continent and consequently the rest of the World followed the Greek example.

Athens is a gritty city but it has character and loads of history. People catering to tourists are generally pleasant and professional. It is no longer a bargain destination as prices are equivalent to most Mediterranean cities. The underground system is easy to use and efficient. The Plaka and both Syntagma and Monestiraki Squares should be the focal point for a visit. A walk around Mikrolimani and Pasalimani, near Piraeus, are also worthwhile, and dining at Varoulko, in the former, is an excellent experience. The Acropolis Museum is a wonderful addition to the city, and the Benaki Museum is fantastic: have a coffee and snack on its rooftop before viewing its beautiful collection.

The city center was beautiful but I would not reccomend side streets, it can get quite creepy.. We've visited Acropolis museum and the National archeological museum, both quite boring and dissapointing.. For what the entrance fee costs, they could have made the museums more entertaining, also, a lot of empty spaces for such large buildings. It was quite depressing to see those ruins, so much history but so few left.. Overall it was an interesting trip and it is worth visiting at least once. The food is good and the people are nice. I would also reccomend seeing the sunset from Lycabettus hill, it's a gorgeous view of the whole city.
“I like the style of the hotel
The food is excellent , the location one of the nicest at Athens , the near by beaches are the best
If I ever come again to Greece
Will sure stay at the Margi”
“I enjoyed the kindness of the staff as well as the comfort and privacy offered by the hotel.
I will recommend the hotel to friends visiting Greece in the future and I, as well, will stay there on my next visit.”
“A luxury hotel right at the airport--two minute walk from terminal. Superb service, very comfortable. Expensive relative to other places we stayed in Greece, but worth it for the convenience and comfort.”
“We loved this Hotel. It was so well-located. It was quiet. The views of the Acropolis were wonderful. The Jacuzzis with Acropolis views were so great! We loved he Art in the public areas. And the restaurant...absolutely the best meal we had in our 2 week travels in Greece.”
