Athens has many interesting museums and historic sites.
Athens has many interesting museums and historic sites. They are fascinating to see if you are interested in those things. If you do like those things, be sure to add a trip to Delphi to your itinerary. There you will find the Temple of Apollo (look it up).
Another important thing about Athens is the ferry system to visit the many islands Greece has. The ferries are fantastic! Download Ferry Hopper to view schedules and buy tickets.
Athens also has many great restaurants. I recommend looking for good restaurants that are not catering to the tourists. The ambiance is not as good, but the food is more authentic and better priced.
After visiting the Acropolis Museum, you will find a street with all restaurants across the street from the Acropolis Metro station. They are all tourist restaurants. I am sure you will get a good meal from any of them. But if you head south to the next block, you will find Opos Palia, an authentic local Greek restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The food is outstanding, and about half the cost.
The transit system is supposed to be great and inexpensive, but we did not use it. Uber is very convenient to use and not expensive either. If you are going to use a taxi, Free Now, is a Greek version of Uber. Download it and set it up. I found that if you stop a taxi on the street, they will want more than Uber or Free Now, sometimes a lot more.
With all that said, most recommendations say to stay in Athens only a few days, then explore other parts of Greece, and I agree with that. It's kind of like New York. Yes, there is lots of great stuff to see and do in Athens, also great places to eat. But the city is dirty, noisy, and scuzzy. There is lots of great stuff elsewhere.

Make sure you book your tickets to the acropolis ahead of time early morning or evening are the best times.
Safe and very clean city it does have a lot of written graffiti.
Make sure you have the Gyros at the metro square by the flea market. Go to the restaurant behind the little church and in the corner of the walking street. They have the take away ones but if you get a beer they will let you sit at the tables.
Also don’t forget to enjoy the gelato, and the street corn on the cob

Lots of sights, cafes, taverns and liveliness everywhere. Reliable transport around the city by metro and tram. I love going to Athens.
I recommend visiting this city in April, May, October and November. But we swam in the sea even in January ;-)
We also always shop at Hondos Center on Omonia Square...

I have mixed feelings about Athens as a whole.
I have mixed feelings about Athens as a whole. I knew it was a big city but it had more a big city feel versus a traditional Greek feel than I expected. The main strip with the tourist attractions was good, not too crowded in early May which was nice. But the city does have a really big and sad drug and homeless problem. It wasn't safe for me, as a solo female traveler, to walk around past 7pm and I saw some things that were really heartbreaking to witness. The history of the city and the food were amazing and beautiful but you just have to be mentally and emotionally prepared to take in both sides of the city while you're there as it's unavoidable.

Museum, ancient monuments, and open locations are wonderful.
Museum, ancient monuments, and open locations are wonderful. Also the climate at the end of April that allows you to walk around is perfect. You have absolutely to try local restaurants that deliver traditional dishes of Greek cuisine. Prepare in advance your visit, because there are many events in Athens and it's better to arrive prepared not to miss nice and interesting events.
Exceptional accommodation which exceeded our expectations. We both agreed that this was one of the best places we stayed during our visit to Greece. Clean, comfortable, spacious, fantastic view of the acropolis, and the host left very clear and friendly instructions. She was also easy to communicate with. Apartment was also in a great location with Hadrian's Library just next door, with shops and restaurants just downstairs (no issues with noise though). We wished we could stay longer. Definitely our pick for our next visit to Athens!
Our last hotel on our two week trip to mainland Greece. I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Location to Acropolis cannot be beat, friendly staff who provided us with lunch and dinner options. The rooms were small which can be expected for any hotel in a big city but to our surprise both the beds and pillows were super comfortable. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace with a view of the acropolis was a great way to end our trip. Both the sunsets and sunrises watched from the rooftop were spectacular.
Staff was very nice, i asked for early check in in advance and they cleaned the room earlier so we could get in. Very center location, restaurant and supermarket nearby. Rooftop with Acropolis view is real bonus. It's not a brand new hotel but its clean and comfortable. Breakfast was standard with egg ham cheese and several greece pastry. But no complain with the price and location its worth the money. We rent family room and turned out its 2 rooms with connecting door and 2 bathroom! Great one !
This is our second stay here. First- the bed and pillows are the most comfy anywhere in Greece, (maybe actually ANYWHERE period). We love the boho vibe and eco-conscious nature of the hotel. The laid back common area is light-filled and surrounded by greenery. Breakfast buffet was nice but not the best we’ve had in Greece. The huge honeycomb was a highlight, though!
Easy parking on the street. Nice neighborhood. The staff is always cheerful and helpful.
This is my first hotel in Greece and I have to say that it made my stay in Athens much more pleasant. The hotel is within 10 minutes walk to the biggest attractions in Athens. The rooms are designed in calming colors and decorations, the staff and the service are super good and helpful. If you book in there you definitely need to book their breakfast because they have really good ones with a very wide variety of choices to eat and drink in the morning.
Second post covid stay. One night Only between trips to mountains and the islands. Pleasant surprise when bus from Peloponnese dropped us 100m from the hotel. As a base for touring Greece and Athens the Cosmos is ideal. They even have a cold drinks machine in the lobby stocked with beer. Aircon set at 25 degrees which is a bit warm for me as I like to sleep cold
Acron Athens was a great place for my family to stay. It was within a 10 to 15 minute walk to all of the historic places, and about a 30 minute walk to Lycabettus Hill. The staff met us at check-in and sent us tips for local places during our stay. Staying her made us feel like we were a local resident of Greece, while have the comfort of safe accomodations!
One more stay at Mitsis Athens Airport, as always everything ran smooth, with a warm welcome, well prepared and a clean room. Bed quality good, AC working properly, all amenities as always in order and useful. The breakfast in the morning as in the high quality hotels - perfect for a start of the journey. Plus the best moussaka in Greece, no kidding!
It was wonderful. When we walked in the building, it smelled so good and everything was so clean and updated. The shower was so big and water pressure was strong. The bed was comfortable and the tv was very big. We stayed in two other locations in Greece, but this was the best one. We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Athens, Greece.
The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful. They spoke very fluent English which was helpful compared to other hotels I stayed at in Greece. The breakfast was excellent especially for me as a bacon and eggs person rather than a granola and fruit eater. The location was in a good area and a short walk from the Acropolis.
We were 4 people (2 sisters and a couple). We each had our own room and own bathroom. The kitchen was well-equipped, the apartment spacious and a fabulous terrace. It was a great start to our holiday in Greece. We each had our own space and privacy and we could also be together. Very good location in the center of Athens.
The hotel is new and very clean. The roof terrace was a lovely surprise. The service was excellent - by far the best during our trip to Greece. The rooms are compact but wasn’t an issue for us and the bed was very comfortable. The view from the room (505) was great! We will stay here again if we re-visit Athens
The room was great! Probably the best most comfortable bed we slept in in 2 weeks in Greece. The hotel location was very convenient and walkable to everything and right next to the train station line that takes you straight to the airport. Breakfast was excellent and had a view of the Parthenon
The hotel was clean, everything was washed and fresh. Had one of the best elevators in greece we have used (the whole family and luggage fit) carpark was great we park right outside the front door in the the free parking and lastly the breakfast was nice and light.
This facility was the meeting place for our Rick Steves' Greece tour. You don't expect 5 star accommodations but 3+ star, affordable hotels that are clean, serve a good breakfast, and typically close to the action. Check, check, check. No complaints here.
Location was perfect for what we were looking for. Walking distance to shops, sights and restaurants. Soula is an amazing host, very caring and welcoming! It made our last night in Athens and Greece in general special. Thank you🙏🏼
This was the best hotel of our trip to Greece. Really comfortable boutique hotel owned by two lovely sisters who really made our stay special. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Really fantastic hotel.
