The Athens area overall was amazing. I did some shopping at the mall, visited the acropolis and the museum, explored the neighborhood. My favorite part what how easily accessible everything was with public transit. The train and busses are super easy

Athens is a bit rough around the edges but it's getting better and has a lot of decent areas. Prices for food are dirt cheap. Def the place to go to Michelin places. Bib Gourmand is about $50 per person. Michelin 1 star is about $100 per person.

Suggest you get tickets to Acropolis as soon as you get there- note the tickets have timeframe to visit so make sure you are within your time frame. Tix can be purchased on line or at tix counter (cash) as their credit machines often do not work.

Athens is a beautiful city with a great mix of culture, sight-seeing, shopping and fabulous restaurants. We enjoyed a fabulous long weekend seeing what the city had to offer. Having visited many of the Greek islands I really enjoyed the city too.

Athens is an amazing city, rich in history and culture. The people are friendly and the food options plentiful. I would discourage staying in Acropolis suburb, but rather the Plaka, though they are only a 5 minute walk from each other.

Athens is compact enough to see many of the key sites within a day or two. It is very chaotic however so be prepared. As with any large city, be very mindful. Two different people in our small travel group were pick-pocketed so take care.
"Central location, nice setup, comfortable room, and a beautiful restaurant on the 10th floor with the best and unmatched view onto the acropolis! For dinner, it provided an eclectic selection of dishes, maybe not entirely classic Greek, but simply wonderful. Not able to name every single item, but the apricot soup was magnificent, the Greek salad on point, and the octopus carpaccio and the burrata were exceptionally appealing – both visually and on the taste buds. For breakfast there was a beautiful buffet which was rich and offered many choices, but did not totally match the comparison with the sister hotel, Electra Palace, in Thessaloniki or the Domes Resorts."
"Nice spacious room, clean, nice bathroom, friendly staff that was very accommodating, very nice breakfast, great location right next to gas station, staff will order taxi for you to get where you need to be on time. Will definitely stay here again"
"The view from the rooftop restaurant Acropolis secret is fantastic to acropolis. It is a must see and the food is excellent along with the entire staff."
