What to expect
Syntagma
30m
The central square of Athens is dominated by the Greek Parliament (formerly the Royal Palace) and characterized by the high energy level created by the constant movement of people through the city’s busiest crossroads.
Kolonaki / Lykavittos
1h
For more than three-quarters of a century, this has been the most upmarket neighbourhood in the center of the city; thanks to its cutting-edge boutiques, chic sidewalk cafés and gourmet restaurants, this is where the capital’s beautiful people meet, eat and shop.
Exarchia
1h
Right in the heart of Athens is this politically charged district famous for its progressive social ideas and the dozens of very affordable tavernas, bars and snack-shops filled with university students from the nearby educational institutes.
Psiri
1h
Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.
Monastiraki
30m
Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.
