Athens Blog

Athens isn’t always love at first sight. It’s loud, a little rough around the edges, and not exactly what you’d call conventionally pretty. But give it a day (or two), and it’ll win you over. Between ancient ruins and rooftop bars, family-run tavernas and edgy street art, Athens has this raw, real charm that sneaks up on you—and suddenly, you’re hooked. I’ve been to Athens several times through the years, and every trip feels different. Here on the blog, I’m sharing my favorite neighborhoods, what to eat, what not to miss (and what you can skip), plus a few tips for making the most of your time in the city.

Athens is one of those cities where it really pays to stay somewhere central. Whether you’re wandering the streets of Plaka, grabbing late-night bites in Monastiraki, or soaking up the laid-back vibe in Koukaki, being in the right neighborhood makes everything easier—and a lot more fun.

Here’s a link to check out hotels in Athens, from cute boutique stays to spots with rooftop views of the Acropolis. Wherever you end up, I hope you’ll love the city as much as I do.
