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

Most visitors stop in Athens for a day or two, look at the Acropolis, and then fly off to Santorini. When people rush through Athens just to get to the islands, they miss out on a beautiful city full of history, incredible food, and amazing sights. I studied in Athens for a semester and I loved being a part of the daily life and culture. From chatting with the friendly people who worked at my local coffee shop to using the Acropolis as a directional guide, Athens quickly felt like home. I miss Athens constantly and just really loved the time I spent there. There’s truly something for everyone. If you are a Greek mythology or philosophy nerd, this is the motherland. If you love food, get ready to gorge yourself on delicious souvlaki and feta cheese. Or, if you just appreciate beautiful sights and fun nightlife, there’s something for you too. Based on my time in Athens, here are my recommendations for what to do, where to eat, day trips, and nightlife. If you’re just visiting, opt to do more than the average tourist and really get to know the city of Athens. It’s more than a layover.
