The Temple of Olympian Zeus
Plaka
It is the best place to stay if you wont spend much time in Athens since it is very central. Athough crowded and touristy it is very Instagrammable. It’s the area that most visitors envision when they think of Athens, whether they know it or not: small winding pedestrian streets, colorful old buildings, cobblestones, and ancient trees–all in the shadow of the Acropolis.
Greek Tips!
Regarding traditional alcohol, you can’t leave Greece without tasting Raki (mainly in Crete island), ouzo and tsipouro! Yamas!! It means “to our health”. These drinks are quite strong and normally are mixed with water (especially ouzo).
Have some froyo, greek salads, feta, gryros.. Did you know iced coffee is from Greece? You won´t find it as foamy as starbucks though!
Kosmos taxi. You call at 18300 and the minimum charge is 5 euros. Highly recommended for quick pickups. Cheaper than Uber.
