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.

Athens is such a beautiful place to visit....History is amazing in person. Shopping in the Flea Market is a must for any traveler to Athens. No matter where we were in Athens the people were amazing!
We stayed at the Andromeda Suites and Apartments and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Athens. Our apartment was an amazing 3 bedroom, 2 bath with living room, dining room and kitchen. The outdoor veranda surrounded the apartment and gave amazing city and mountain views. The staff was incredible and made both of our stays there very enjoyable and comfortable! I will plan my stay with them anytime in Athens.

Athens was an unexpected but beautiful city.
Athens was an unexpected but beautiful city. It was really cute and comfortable, but also had incredible sights and history. Transportation is fairly easy and the food is great. It was really easy to meet other solo travelers. The Plaka neighborhood is a must!

Be careful on the metro.
Be careful on the metro. Everyone I know has had their wallet stolen as a tourist in this town. Hotel was super helpful in getting my wallet back to me, but the event was incredibly stressful.
Otherwise, the food, the sights, the atmosphere were fantastic.

Athens is a grubby city full of grafitti and rubbish.
Athens is a grubby city full of grafitti and rubbish. The traffic is horrendous but if you want to see the historical sites and taste the food you have no choice but to visit and stay for a couple of days.

I loved the Acropolis at 7:30 A.
I loved the Acropolis at 7:30 A.M. before ALL the Tour buses get there! The food was awesome! The City of Athens is Filthy, dirty and 98% in Grafftt! Not the 1% art Grafftti I mean the Eye Sore kind! Get out of the City in Athens and it becomes less Graffitti and trashy! Go to the beach and area about 35 minutes from Athens! Akti Vouliagmenis, is the Beverly Hills of Athens! Nice and clean! Yes, expensive but worth it!! Don’t drive in Athens!!

It was the best food
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
“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.”
“Very friendly and professional staff. Clean, good food, everything you need for a good stay in Athens. Shops, restaurants and culture all around. Cannot wait to go back!”
“Everything was excellent! The hotel is new, modern, breakfast amazing, staff nice & kind! The top roof bar and patio with a swimming pool are fantastic!”
