Athens
Trip Planning & Itineraries
4:28 PM Friday, Sep 5
Sunny. Pleasantly warm.
7 day forecast »
Redolent with mythology, loaded with art and architecture, Athens is an affable city enlivened by outdoor cafes, pedestrian streets, parks, gardens and urban eccentrics. If you get into the Athenian mindset, you might not even notice the layer of nefos (smog) overhead.
The city may look like a concrete jungle, but beyond this off-putting veneer is a kind of dilapidated charm. Almost every house and apartment has a balcony bulging with geraniums, and many of the city's streets and squares are fringed with orange trees.

Eating & Drinking in Athens
Eating out is a serious part of Athenian culture, as emphasized by the fresh local produce, the creative takes on traditional dishes like horiatiki salata (country salad) and mousaka (eggplant with minced meat and béchamel sauce), and the proliferation of new restaurants.
Athens has enough venues to satisfy most entertainment needs although most clubs don't crank up until after midnight. On offer are Greek disco, tsifteteli (dance tunes), bouzouki (B-grade crooner joints), laika (popular music), rebetika (blues) and eclectic entekna ('artistic' music).
Visit the archaeological site at Mycenae and then it's on to Nauplia, Epidaurus, Olympia and Delphi. Classical Greece -- all in 3 days.
