Recommendation
The 'Neighborhood of the Gods'. Plaka clings to the slopes of the Acropolis and is the oldest, most picturesque part of Athens. It’s a maze of pedestrianized streets, neoclassical mansions, and endless souvenir shops. It’s undeniably touristy, but undeniably magical.
Just below Plaka, Monastiraki is the vibrant, noisy marketplace of the city. Centered around the Flea Market, it is a sensory overload of antiques, street food, and rooftop bars. It’s gritty, lively, and offers huge value for travelers who want to be in the mix.
The political and commercial center of modern Athens. Syntagma Square is home to the Parliament and the luxury hotels. It’s busy, traffic-heavy, but incredibly convenient. It’s the transport hub of the city and walking distance to Plaka and Kolonaki.
Kolonaki is the Knightsbridge of Athens. Situated at the base of Mount Lycabettus, it is chic, wealthy, and polished. The streets are lined with high-end boutiques, galleries, and brunch spots where the city's elite gather. It’s hilly, green, and expensive.
