Must see & do

Lycabettus: Twilight is the best time to venture up this abrupt peak. Lycabettus stands high above Athens, commanding a clear view across the Attica basin and the Aegean. There is also a superb café from where you can enjoy the view.

Benaki Museum: ranks among the major institutions that have enriched the material assets of the Greek state. Through its extensive collections that cover several different cultural fields and its more general range of activities serving more than one social need, the Benaki Museum is perhaps the sole instance of a complex structure within the broader network of museum foundations in Greece.

Gazi district: Famous for its bar life. Also, around the metro at Kerameikos cluster countless eateries, music venues and art spaces. Dominating the skyline is the gasworks turned Technopolis, a vast mixed

Psiri district: You should not overlook Psiri with its endless small streets of cafes, ouzeries, restaurants, bars, clubs, theatres and galleries, all within a minute’s walk from Athinas and Ermou streets or Monastiraki square. Psiri came of age as the center of Athens nightlife during the 2004 Olympics, and regardless of what people say about its commercialism, you won’t and a cooler place to be in any city in Europe or America. You can feel the buzz as you walk past cafes and taverns in Iroon Square.

Monastiraki Flea Market: It is not really a flea market in the way most of us think of them, except for Sunday when people seem to come from the hills to lay out their blankets and sell all sorts of stuff. It is worth the experience even if you just sit in the cafes overlooking the ancient agora and the metro tracks on Adrianou Street watching the parade of shoppers and street musicians. During the of tourist shops, clothing stores, fur, and jewelry stores dotted with some pretty interesting shops, especially if you like vintage vinyl and rare CDs. Monastiraki Square is still one of the most lively squares in Athens and at night it is filled with young people and street vendors.

National Gardens: When you decide you need a break from the city hustle, visit the National Gardens, located right in the center of Athens. It is an eclectic, but serene scene. There is a playground to keep the kids occupied, a café to keep everyone hydrated and a duck pond (inhabited by an army of ducks looking for some bread handouts). The National Gardens are open daily, and entrance is free.
