About Athens
Athens combines 2,500 years of continuous history with a contemporary urban culture defined by rooftop bars, street art, and a cuisine revival that has made Greek food internationally recognised. Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is a major Aegean hub, connecting to island routes as well as European and long-haul destinations. The Acropolis, Parthenon, and National Archaeological Museum anchor the cultural offer.
Where to stay in Athens
How the main neighbourhoods compare, based on trip type.
- Monastiraki / PlakaBest for first visit
The area below the Acropolis is the most logical base for a first Athens visit. Plaka is the oldest continuously inhabited neighbourhood in the city, and the narrow streets below the Parthenon fill with tavernas and small shops. Monastiraki square has the flea market (expanding on Sundays), the Roman Agora, and the Ancient Agora within a 10-minute walk. The Acropolis Museum is at the southern edge of Plaka. Crowded in summer but manageable because the sights are spread across levels of the hill rather than a flat grid.
Metro: Lines 1, 3 (Monastiraki) · Airport: Around 40-45 min by metro to Monastiraki · Historic, touristy in summer, ancient ruins
- KoukakiBest for a weekend
The neighbourhood immediately south of the Acropolis and east of Filopappou Hill is a strong base for a 2-3 night stay that's close to the main sights without being inside the tourist core. A 10-minute walk to the Acropolis Museum and Plaka, but with significantly lower prices for food and accommodation. Filopappou Hill itself provides one of the best views of the Parthenon without the Acropolis entry queue. The streets have a genuinely residential character rare this close to major ancient sites.
Metro: Lines 2, 3 (Akropoli, Syngrou Fix) · 15 min walk to Monastiraki · Residential, quiet, Acropolis views
- Psirri / KeramikosBest for nightlife
