Depends what you're looking for...A must see is obviously the Parthenon and the Acropolis even if just for the wonderful view, if you like history visit the Ancient Agora below the acropolis, the Temple of Zeus and the archaeological museum. If you want to browse around head for Syntagma Square and have a peek at the palace and the gardens, the wonderful guards by the monument of the unknown soldier. Head down Ermou street for some shopping then head left towards Plaka (the old city). another must see is Lykavetos Hill opposite the Acropolis (up by cable car). Clubs and bars all over but best are around Kolonaki area as are some good cafes and restaurants. If you want a great taste of local cuisine and watch some Greek dancing, go to "O Yeros tou Morea" (The old man of Morea) up the steps in Mnisikleos Street in Plaka. And if you have a day or two to spare, head for Piraeus harbour and take a tour to Aegina, Poros and Idra which are all wonderful islands and within 1 to 3 hours reach. And don't leave Greece before tasting the very particular local "Retsina" wine and the "Ouzo" liquer.

The new area of Athens hosted a warm up Olympiad and still has
some activities for viewing sports and parades. This sea world place
is best visited without camera as it is tradition not to reel the sacred temples
as though they are tourism. A few pictures should suffice. That being said
the local natives are true athenians shops are good, religion is good,
the boating is good, the hunting and fishing really good at Apollo hotels.
The top selections of shopping are beyond the tours at typical farm stands.

All the tourist stuff is right by each other. Athens is so full of history, you'll find all sorts of ruins of old cities. i would suggest going to any of the islands. just get a map and go!

maximum places in considerable Athens are high-quality. i've got been there some cases. heavily, beware for pickpockets. I in simple terms approximately have been given nailed at stop easy waiting to bypass the line in Syntagma sq.--that's no shaggy dog tale. in case you opt to stay downtown, you are able to seek for a lodge interior the Plaka or Monastiraki or Omonia factors (i've got stayed on the lodge Plaka), and The Titania, the two are top interior the downtown vacationer district and extremely on the brink of subway stops. you are able to stay everywhere you like, for the main area, in simple terms be optimistic to %. one as close as a threat to a subway stop. From there, you will get everywhere interior the city very quite.
