Either you love it or you hate it! Its a little chaotic, but personally I love it just like it is and have returned many many times. Its a city you easily want to walk in. Its easy to orientate because of the hills and Acropolis. People are friendly or busy with themselves. Find some of the roof gardens in the area around Monastiraki, Psyrri or Thissio and you will have an incredible view to Acropolis - also at night. Take a hike up to the Lycabettus hill - or take a cab and walk the last distance or take the "teleferik" from top of Kolonaki. Take a stroll in Kolonaki, you'll find good shops here… or if you are for the more authentic touristshopping head to the flee market in Monastiraki. The different museum sites will automatically get you around in the different areas. Even Exharcia can be charming but would say to awoyd after dark if you're not an very experienced traveller - here is the meeting area for youths disagreeing with the different governments at all time and things can get a bit ruff - at least very noisy. Remember to eat souvlaki, but also the more precooked food. Eat octopus/calamary with ouzo. Drink the local FIX beer. Fancy restaurants can be found in Kolonaki and more tourist in the area around Monastiraki - they are all well worth a try. You can find small open places around churches…. With fancy bars and restaurant. Young, old , rich and poor ----- its a melting pot , and its lovely. Be prepared for some chaotic lifestyle….. Greeks are people who live to learn… and not so westernized to learn to live….. ENJOY
Thessaloniki si a great city, i would recommend to everybody. it is very easy to get around, every step you take further is a new sightseeing. A combination of an old city with a modern one, it was so well succeeded. Music, bars, energetic people, coffee places, even the elderly were outgoing. Thessaloniki has so many historical places to visit, and has some many other places for drinks and food. I would have tried all, but unfortunately i could not. I visited the white tower, alexander the great monument, ladadika neighbourhood, rotunda, aristotelous square, the traditional market, churches and museums which you would be very impressed by the organization and the ideas, city center, tsimiski, the bars at "nikis" street as it's called and many more. I would suggest every place in thessaloniki but number one rated: Terkenlis sweets, Be* restaurant, the bars at "nikis" street, ladadika of course, the ancient agora streets, the market, window shopping and even shopping at "tsimiski" street the castle up in the city and which ever church or historical place you would choose you will find it great.
Getting around on foot is quite great but limited to one or two days. Renting a car (there are quite a few agents with great deals around) proved to be a great choice. There are wonderful places to see on the island and it's quite tourist-friendly, even in winter. If driving in Chania, be aware of the scooters, they are everywhere and appear out of nowhere. Peak hours are between 8:00 to 9:00 am and after 6:00pm, especially on the main streets as parking is limited and most locals loose their driving skills altogether. Eating in Chania is better outside the harbor, in the small tavernas and souvlaki joints in the inner streets. We found most restaurants are very overpriced and food is not very impressive, but step into a small street-corner doner palace and you won't believe how great (and cheap) the food is!
Charming island with great food and friendly locals. Visited outside of the touris season. It felt like over the three days in February the island was coming alive and getting its fresh coat of white paint. Most restaurants and places were closed, but the local coffee, food, and booze was wonderful. Be on the lookout for the giant pelican mascot of the town. He’s huge!
The various historical and cultural layers of the city create a magnificent atmosphere, especially since we were visiting Rhodes off-season. After this experience I really wonder if I would ever like to visit it when all the shops, bars and restaurants are open. In my view, Rhodes is a perfect destination for a city-break. We stayed for 2 days, but 3 or 4 would have been ideal. Since most of the shops in the old town were closed, we had to visit the new town outside of the city walls whenever we needed something. This is about 10-15 minutes walking. The new town has some nice shops and bars and is definitely worth a visit. I don't think I would recommend Rhodes to people who do not like walking, because this is by far the best way to discover this gorgeous city.
VIP suites were excellent value for money at this time of year. The cave room was stunning, with good views ... unfortunately no sunset due to weather but would be beautiful in the summer. Oia is a 'must see' if visiting Santorini... photo opportunities at every turn, particularly nice in winter as not so many tourists - but on the flip side not a lot open either (we stayed Jan 2nd-4th). You need to pick your location carefully, especially if not so mobile or fit. The frequent walk up and down narrow, winding paths to our room halfway down the hillside was quite tiring, especially in the wind and rain. We ate one evening at the traditional Alkiona Restaurant which has good reviews. I ate moussaki which was very nice though very heavily meat based, my partner had calamari - he was a little disappointed in the portion size for the money (22 euros) but enjoyed it. All in all we loved our time in Oia and were very pleased we visited from our main base in Athens. I'd love to come back in the sun and see the spectacular views once more.
