Electra Palace Athens

Hi traveler, This is a Master Guide for all the handpicked places I have chosen to help you while you are in Athens. Save it and share it with your friends. Athens is the capital of Greece and rightfully considered the historical capital of Europe. Being one the world’s oldest cities, Athens is still dominated by various landmarks, monuments and ancient buildings which showcase the city’s rich history. Athens houses layers of history such as the Acropolis, over 70 museums, Byzantine churches, ancient theaters and more hidden treasures along its downtown streets. Whether you are planning to stay for a few days or more, this Master guide includes hand picked sightseeing places to visit, but also recommended restaurants, hotels, cafes and places of interest. If you consider a private tour or a customised itinerary to your preferences, contact me efi@definitelygreeece.com NOTE: Our Master Guide will be updated frequently. Have a great time to our beautiful country Efi Kalogirou

This is a guide for Athens and Alimos Greece. If you are not familiar with Alimos (I wasn't either), it is a seaside town on the coast and is very close to Athens. It makes for a great city break from the heat of Athens. If you are heading to the Greek Islands for the summer it's very likely you'll pass through Athens. There is a wealth of things to do here. We've been a few times now and I still have things on my list that I'd like to see and do in future trips. This guide will cover all of the things that I have personally done, seen, and eaten in Athens. *Including a mini street food our that we personally created and did! It will also cover things I have researched that sound amazing and that I wish to do on future trips. Why Athens? Personally I find Athens to be an incredible city. Not everyone wants to spend time in Athens, but we really enjoyed Athens and found it had a lot to offer. There are lots of great things to do and see here and so much history. We have visited twice so this guide for Athens will include quite a bit. You can pick and choose what you would find most enjoyable for a day or two here at the beginning and possibly also the end of your trip. I am going to divide this Athens portion into 2 sections. The first will be for more of the heart of Athens and first timers or people who love all of the main and major things in the city. We also created our own mini street food tour here and that is included as well.   The second section is with a base in Alimos. This is likely for people who have already been to Athens and have seen all of the history and main sites. Or for people who just don't care and would rather beach and chill during their day or two in Athens.
