I didn&#8217;t like it when I first went in 2006 and, after four visits (most recently last year), I&#8217;m still not completely sold on it. I think it&#8217;s dirty, ugly, and, overall, there&#8217;s just something about it I just don&#8217;t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, it&#8217;s not all bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the Plaka area (that&#8217;s where all the history is) and Psyri, just north, is my favorite neighborhood in the city. It&#8217;s got this cyberpunk\/hipster vibe to it and has a lot of excellent bars, street drinking, cafes, and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, I have a feeling that Athens is a place that truly reveals its magic when you <em>live<\/em> there. So, while I&#8217;m still not sold on it, I warmed up to it after my last visit and can see why some people like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the amount of history and sights here, I suggest you spend at least three full days when you visit. There&#8217;s a lot to see and do here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This travel guide to Athens will give you the low down on everything you need to know to plan your visit, save money, and make the most of your time here.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5520_a45038-18 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5520_a45038-18 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

Athens<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/athensguide.jpg\" alt=\"view of Athens, Greece\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Visit the Acropolis<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Acropolis is a 5th-century BCE citadel overlooking Athens. The hilltop complex includes ancient buildings and ruins like Propylaea, the temple to Athena, and the famous Parthenon. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it&#8217;s undoubtedly one of the best historical spots in the city. Lots of plays are hosted in the Odeon of Herodes here in the summer too. Arrive super early or late to avoid the crowds. Admission is 20 EUR, or for 30 EUR you can get a 5-day combined ticket that includes many other archaeological sites in Athens (more on that below). For a guided tour, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/athens-l91\/the-acropolis-of-athens-skip-the-line-guided-walking-tour-t224313\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athens Walking Tours<\/a> runs guided tours for around 55 EUR (including admission) that skip the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Visit the Acropolis Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This newer (opened in 2009) museum is housed in a modern building that&#8217;s juxtaposed with the archaeological treasures that it holds. One of the highlights is the glass floor where you can walk over the ruins of an ancient neighborhood. There are also over 4,000 excavated finds, including sculptures, friezes, pottery, and more. End your visit at the museum&#8217;s restaurant for one of the best views of the Parthenon in the city. Admission is 10 EUR in the winter and 15 EUR in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. See the National Archaeological Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This museum, founded in the 19th century, has one of the most extensive collections of ancient Greek artifacts in the world. There are five main permanent collections with exhibits covering Prehistoric Antiquities, Sculpture, Metalwork, Vases and Minor Arts, Egyptian Antiquities, and Cypriot Antiquities. You can even see the 2,000-year-old analog \u201ccomputer\u201d found in a shipwreck off the island of Antikythera. Plan to spend at least a half-day here. Admission is 6 EUR in the winter and 12 EUR in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Hike Lycabettus<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Legend has it that the mythological goddess Athena created Mount Lycabettus when she dropped a limestone mountain on the spot. If you want some exercise and a great view of the city and the Acropolis (especially at sunset), hike up to the peak of this 277-meter (909 ft) hill, which is the highest point in Athens. The path starts at the end of Aristippou Street. There\u2019s a (pricey) cafe at the top if you need a drink, as well as an open-air amphitheater that hosts concerts in the summer, and a 19th-century chapel. If you don\u2019t want to walk up, you can pay 10 EUR for a return trip on the funicular (7 EUR one-way).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. See the Historic Sights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The ancient ruins of old Athens are littered around The Plaka, an area that&#8217;s known as the &#8220;Neighborhood of the Gods.&#8221; Located in the shadow of the Acropolis, this is the oldest part of Athens and ruins are everywhere. The Ancient Agora, Hadrian&#8217;s Library, the Roman Agora, Olympieion, Kerameikos, and a ton more other stuff are all here. Plan to spend a while roaming the sites. For the big 5, get a combo ticket. It costs 30 EUR and is valid for 5 days so you don&#8217;t have to rush.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5520_b4f663-e4 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5520_1adc62-71 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5520_1adc62-71\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_ef0c38-19\">Other Things to See and Do in Athens<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Take a walking tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing I do when I arrive in a new city is take a walking tour. They give you the lay of the land, introduce you to the main sights, and give you access to an expert local guide who can answer all your questions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/best-walking-tours-athens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post lists all my favorite walking tours in Athens<\/a>. Just remember to tip your guide at the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you\u2019re looking for more in-depth and specific tours, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.takewalks.com\/athens-tours\/?tap_a=58689-04a284&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Take Walks<\/a> is the way to go. You get lots of behind-the-scenes access, including at the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum. Tours start at 62 EUR. It&#8217;s worth the money if you&#8217;re a history buff like me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Visit the Athens Central Market (Varvakios Agora)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This 19th-century public market is one of my favorite places to wander, people watch, and sample the local delicacies. Come early to watch the produce and fish being unloaded. There are a ton of Greek specialties, like olives, halloumi, and feta for sale here. It&#8217;s open every day of the week except Sunday, from 7am to 6pm (it gets very crowded around lunchtime so arrive early). If you have an appetite, stop at Diporto to eat. The restaurant has no menu so they serve whatever they cook for the day. The owners barely speak English but the food is excellent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Go to Cape Sounion and visit the Temple of Poseidon<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Constructed in 444 BCE, the remarkably well-preserved Temple of Poseidon sits on a rocky outcrop 70 meters (300 ft) above the ocean. Built to honor the god of the sea, the temple served as a welcomed sight for returning sailors. The sunset from here is incredible and there are several beaches nearby in Legrena and Lavrio. The combination of the ruins and towering white pillars against the backdrop of the turquoise sea was incredible and one of my favorite historical sites beyond the big five. Admission to the archaeological site is 10 EUR. It&#8217;s about an hour away from Athens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visit the Kanellopoulos Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This former mansion dates to 1884 and houses a collection of over 6,500 items, including jewelry, weapons, clay-and-stone vases, Byzantine art, figurines, and furniture that once belonged to the wealthy Kanellopoulos family. The collection was bought by the government and turned into a museum in 1976. Although there isn&#8217;t much English signage, you rarely have to compete for views with other visitors. Admission is 3 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. See the Tower of the Winds (Aerides)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally built by Andronicus in the first century BCE, this octagonal tower once functioned as a sundial, weather vane, compass, and water clock. It&#8217;s widely accepted to be the world&#8217;s first meteorological station. The entire tower is made of Pentelic marble, which is the same used for the Parthenon and was rarely used for anything other than temples. The tower is at the edge of the Roman Agora and surrounded by ruins from that time period. It&#8217;s 10 EUR to visit with a combined ticket to the Ancient Agora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Witness the Easter Vigil<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you happen to be in Athens during Easter weekend, don\u2019t miss this enchanting vigil procession. Every Good Friday, thousands upon thousands of people form a procession throughout the city, all holding lit candles. Head to Lycabettus Hill and join the crowds ascending to the St. George church. Even if you&#8217;re not religious, it\u2019s a cultural experience worth seeing. You can also climb the hill anytime to watch the sunset (it&#8217;s the highest point in the city so the views are excellent). The neighborhood below, Kolonaki, also has lots of upscale bars and cafes if you want to splash out and relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Hike Parnitha National Park<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located 90 minutes from Athens by car, here you can find several caves, gorges, and springs to explore. Mount Parnitha is also the highest mountain in the region, standing 1,413 meters (4,635 ft) tall. There are around 75 well-marked paths in the park so a guide isn\u2019t necessary. For an easy hike, the trek to Bafi Refuge from the church of Ayia Triada only takes 40 minutes. For something more challenging, try the 20-kilometer (12-mile) trek from Avlona to Agia Marina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Stroll through Anafiotika<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Anafiotika is a 19th-century neighborhood built into the northern side of the Acropolis hill. It lies above Plaka, near the entrance to the Agora, but has none of the hustle and bustle of the city center. This place embodies the feel of the Greek islands, boasting whitewashed walls, shuttered windows, and tiny sidewalk cafes. Because the area is car-free, it\u2019s the perfect place for a leisurely stroll. There are flowers and green shrubs everywhere, and you can stop into the Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments. I enjoyed this little museum where you can see how music has shaped the culture and hear snippets of traditional music at the numerous detailed placards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Dating from the 6th century BCE, the Temple of Olympian Zeus was once the largest temple in Greece (it took almost 700 years to build). Peisistratos, the son of Hippocrates and ruler of Athens from 561-527 BCE, started its construction and then abandoned it after funds ran dry. Hadrian finished the job in 131 CE, and then built an enormous statue of Zeus (and then an enormous statue of himself). There are only a few Corinthian columns still standing. Admission is 8 EUR but really there&#8217;s not much here so just look at it from the gate and save yourself some money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Take a food tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Athens is one big gastronomic adventure. To sample the city&#8217;s best eats, <a href=\"https:\/\/devourtours.com\/destinations\/greece\/athens\/?tap_a=132069-a7be4e&amp;tap_s=37909-476f1e\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Devour&#8217;s Ultimate Athens Food Tour<\/a> provides a fantastic introduction to the local cuisine, with thirteen tastings across nine traditional establishments. You\u2019ll sample fresh cheeses and cold cuts, visit the central market, learn about Greek dining culture, enjoy <em>loukoumades<\/em> (fried donut balls), and taste some classic souvlaki, all while exploring three historic neighborhoods. Tours start from 73 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Hang out in Psyri<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This small neighborhood north of Plaka was given a major upgrade for the 2004 Olympics and consists of an eclectic mix of bars, nightclubs, tavernas, cafes, and restaurants. It\u2019s one of my favorite areas in Athens. It&#8217;s got this cyberpunk\/hipster vibe to it and is really popular with locals on weekends. There are a lot of hostels here and nearby you&#8217;ll find one of the Middle Eastern\/Indian neighborhoods in the city (they are blended here) with lots of good food options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Hit the beach<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The closest beaches to the center of Athens are in Piraeus and Alimos, just 10-15 kilometers (6-9 miles) south of Athens center. They offer beaches with clear water, sand and pebbles, and have a good selection of restaurants to choose from. Their easy access from Athens by public transport means they get busy in the summer \u2014 especially on weekends and holidays. If you have more time and want to escape (some of) the crowds, head further along the Athenian Riviera to places like Lagonisi or Saronida or go on to Sounion (you could combine a beach trip with visiting the Temple of Poseidon). If the sea is too cold for swimming, head to Vouliagmeni Lake. The water in the lake is thermally heated so it&#8217;s much warmer than the ocean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Hike Filopappou Hill<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Right across from the Acropolis is this hill that gives you one of the best views of the Parthenon. The hill takes about 15 minutes to walk up and there are a number of ruins and sites all around the hill you can stop at (they have a lot of good signs that explain what was there). At the bottom, you\u2019ll find the Sanctuary of Pan and the Prison of Socrates is about half-way up. At the top you can check out the Philopappos Monument, which was built in the 2nd century. Definitely go up. The views are great! It can be scorching on a hot day, so be sure to take a water bottle. There are places to refill along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Day trip to Delphi<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Delphi was a place of spiritual significance to the ancient Greeks. Located around 2.5 hours northwest of Athens, this is where the omniscient Oracle would contact the god Apollo and give his advice to those seeking good fortune. Although the eternal flame no longer burns inside the temple, a visit to the Temple of Apollo is obligatory if you\u2019re nearby. Admission is 12 EUR and includes entry to the museum as well as the archaeological site itself (which includes far more than just the Temple of Apollo).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Watch the sunset on Mars Hill<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>A very popular sunset spot with locals is Mars (Areopagus) Hill. Legend has it that this was the place of the first murder trial ever conducted by the gods. It became the site that served as the high court of appeal in ancient Greece. It was also a place where people came to worship and there were altars to Athena and Erinyes. Today, it&#8217;s a great spot to relax and see the sunset. Bring some beer or wine up here and enjoy the view of the city right under the Acropolis. It&#8217;s like a free \u201crooftop&#8221; bar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. See Hansen&#8217;s Trilogy<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three buildings just five minutes walk from the Syntagma main square and are considered some of the most beautiful neoclassical buildings in the world. Designed by Danish architect Theophil Freiherr von Hansen in the 19th century, The Academy, the University, and the National Library look exactly like how you&#8217;d picture ancient Athens. The simple use of geometric shapes gives these buildings a grand, eloquent design. You\u2019ll see statues of the Greek gods along with philosophers like Socrates and Plato. The grounds around them are full of shrubs, palm trees, and flowers. Don&#8217;t miss seeing them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Explore the Panathenaic Stadium (Kalimarmaro)<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This stadium is where the first modern Olympics took place in 1896. The stadium was originally used in 330 BCE by the Greeks. The Romans rebuilt it entirely out of marble in 144 CE, expanding it to hold over 50,000 people. It eventually was abandoned and wasn&#8217;t used again until the 19th century when it was refurbished for the Olympics. You\u2019ll get a chance to enter the stadium through the vaulted passageways and even have a moment on the field itself. You\u2019ll also get to see the site that was once the Temple of Fortuna. Admission is 10 EUR. In the summer, lots of concerts are held here for big touring bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5520_7c8271-b4 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"safe\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5520_afdb0f-a5\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b68a4ab2 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_1998c2-43\">How to Stay Safe in Athens<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Athens is generally a very safe city to visit, even for solo travelers. Your biggest risk is pickpockets, especially on the subway. The city is rife with them. Be sure to keep a close eye on your stuff and watch out for groups who come near you. Usually, they are working in teams to distract you while someone picks your pocket. Other than that, there&#8217;s not much to worry about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At night, it&#8217;s best to avoid the areas around Omonia, Exarcheia, Victoria Square, and Kolokotroni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you hike to Fillopapou Hill, keep an eye out for pickpockets. The pickpockets know tourists go up there so they tend to hang out around there looking for an easy target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scams can occur around Monastiraki, Syntagma, and Glyfada when tourists are lured into a bar with special discounted drink prices, and then are later forced to pay huge prices on their bar tabs or get threatened with violence. You can read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you rent a vehicle, don&#8217;t leave any valuables in it at night. Break-ins are rare but it&#8217;s better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, follow the standard safety precautions (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For more specific information about a place, check out one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It&#8217;s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I&#8217;ve had to use it many times in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"nm-sw-box\"><center><div class=\"safetywing-price-widget\" data-safetywingaffiliateid=\"24768462\"><\/div>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/safetywing-static\/widget\/safetywing-price-widget.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5520_8fab05-c3 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"stay\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5520_a7fdc8-06\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-3c709811 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_90f6d6-99\">Where to Stay in Athens<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Athens has plenty of affordable hostels to choose from.

Stick to cheap eats, a few attractions, and boom, you\u2019re set! But, with a few extra tips, your money can go a lot further. Here are some suggested ways to save money in Athens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Take a free walking tour<\/strong> &#8211; To get a feel for the city and learn some history, be sure to take a free walking tour when you arrive. Exploring a city on foot is the best way to understand it, and if you love architecture and history then this is a must! Just be sure to tip your guide at the end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a transportation pass<\/strong> &#8211; Buying combo tickets for Athens\u2019 metro system is one of the best ways to save money. A one-day unlimited pass is 4.10 EUR, and a five-day pass is 8.20 EUR. You can also get a three-day tourist pass, including round-trip tickets to the airport for 20 EUR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit the sites for free<\/strong> &#8211; From November 1st to March 31st, all major sites in the city are free on the first Sunday of the month. Though the crowds tend to be big, it\u2019s a great way to see all the major sites and save yourself the entrance fee! Prices are also heavily discounted during these months as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a combo ticket<\/strong> &#8211; For 30 EUR you can get admission to the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Hadrian&#8217;s Library, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and more. Considering the entrance fee is 20 EUR for just the Acropolis, this is a steal!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have an ISIC Card<\/strong> &#8211; To save up to 50% on the cost of admission to museums and other tourist attractions, be sure to present a valid student card. The ISIC is typically accepted in places where a foreign student ID is not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; If you plan ahead, you can usually find really nice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> hosts in Athens. This way, you not only have a free place to stay but you get a local host that can tell you the best places to go and share their insider tips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go to museums on their free admission days<\/strong> &#8211; Most of the museums have some days when admission is free. Check the <a href=\"http:\/\/odysseus.culture.gr\/h\/1\/eh10.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Odysseus Culture<\/a> website for details as they vary from museum to museum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring a water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the Greek Salad\/Bread Rule<\/strong> &#8211; Is a restaurant cheap or expensive? Here&#8217;s a good rule of thumb: If the bread cover is .50 EUR or a Greek salad is less than 7 EUR, the restaurant is cheap. If the cover is around 1 EUR and a salad is 7-8.50 EUR, the prices are average. Anything more that, the place is expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat super cheap<\/strong> &#8211; Gyros (and other street snacks) usually only cost a few euros. They are quick and easy and can keep you full for less than 10 EUR per day!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Redeem hotel points<\/strong> &#8211; You can sign up for hotel credit cards and use those points when you travel. You\u2019ll get at least 1-2 nights free with most cards, when you sign up. This can help you save a lot on your trip. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Here\u2019s a post to help you get started with the basics<\/a> .

The fastest way to get around the city is by subway. There is also the tram, bus, and suburban railway. Tickets cost 1.20 EUR and are valid for 90 minutes. They can be used on all modes of public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A one-day unlimited pass is 4.10 EUR and a five-day pass is 8.20 EUR. You can also get a three-day tourist pass, including round-trip tickets to the airport for 20 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The express bus from the airport for 5.50 EUR each way. The subway costs 9 EUR each way and takes about an hour from the city center to the airport (and vice versa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bicycle<\/strong> &#8211; If you&#8217;re not afraid of navigating Athens&#8217; chaotic traffic, bike rentals are an enjoyable way to get around. Rentals start at 15 EUR per day, though electric bicycles can be double that price. Athens By Bike and Bike Me Up are two reputable companies to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxi<\/strong> &#8211; Base fare for taxis in Athens is 4 EUR, with each additional kilometer costing 0.90 EUR. Skip the taxis if you can as the prices add up quickly. Also, make sure the meter is turned on. It&#8217;s illegal for drivers not to use the meter, however, some drivers might try to get sneaky to rip you off. Additionally, make sure the meter shows a number \u201c1\u201d. The \u201c2\u201d is only for 12am-5am, when the rates are double.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ridesharing<\/strong> &#8211; Uber no longer exists here so you&#8217;re stuck taking taxis. (You can still use the Uber app, but it will just call a taxi for you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals can be found for as little as 20 EUR per day for a multi-day rental.

However, it&#8217;s also super hot. Temperatures climb as high as the mid-30s\u00b0C (mid-90s\u00b0F), which can often be unbearable. Sometimes they get even higher and get closer to 40\u00b0C. On the other hand, if you&#8217;re planning on doing some island hopping from Athens, this is a good time to come to enjoy the Mediterranean waters. There are also a lot of interesting events in the city during the summer months. In June, you can catch the Athens Retro Festival which celebrates the past with everything from antique shops to live music performances. Throughout the season you\u2019ll find open-air concerts and film festivals happening around the city, like the Megaron Concert Hall Garden Series and the Summer Nostos Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winters in Athens are mild, with temperatures hovering around 10\u00b0C (50\u00b0F). It rarely snows so this can be an excellent time to see the Acropolis and other famous sights without the tourist crowds. The city puts on fun events during this time of year. You can check out a huge variety of music at the Plissken Festival or watch arthouse European films during the Panorama of European Cinema festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I think that the shoulder season (April\/May and September\/October) is the best time to visit. Prices are a bit cheaper, temperatures are pleasant, and you can avoid the busiest time of the tourist season. If you&#8217;re on a budget and want to beat the crowds, this is when you should visit. Easter is an excellent time to visit to appreciate all the Greek Orthodox celebrations. There are a ton of events happening during these times as well. During May, the Athens City Festival brings exhibitions, street parties, concerts, and more all month long. It\u2019s also free. You can also enjoy the Athens Jazz Festival and the Street Food Festival in the spring. The Athens International Film Festival and Art Athina are happening in the fall, along with the Burger Fest and Athens Beer Festival.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Athens Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.

The downloadable guide can be used on your Kindle, iPad, phone, or computer so you can have it with you when you go.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/product\/europe-guidebooks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about my book on Europe!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5520_e3e4ee-79 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"posts\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5520_8533cf-da > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5520_8533cf-da\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6886dad7 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5520_af6897-a5\">Athens Travel Guide: Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Want more tips for your trip?
