If you're planning to travel to Greece for some sun and fun in the Greek Islands, make some time to visit the country?s capital, Athens. Read along as Hideaways Founder Mike Thiel rediscovers this Greek cosmopolitan city filled with ancient relics, art, shopping, and nightlife. Start your vacation at Syntagma (Constitution) Square. From there, stroll to the Plaka, chic Kolonaki, or the lively, bazaar-like Monastiraki, all within comfortable walking distance from each other. Experience adventure travel city-style, uncovering unique surprises around every corner: fragments of millennia-old walls and monuments, a Byzantine church, or unexpected views of the Acropolis. If you have a couple of extra vacation days, venture just outside the city for some great vistas and dining in Attica, or cruise out to the Saronic Islands. Mike shares his top four accommodations in and around Athens, from a city-center hotel to a seaside resort. |
