    Well done as usual Jon. I went to Greece 4 years ago with my Greek American wife and had a wonderful time time in Athens and the island of Andros where her family lived. It was a great mix of city and island life styles and we even ran into a few long lost relatives. We were scheduled to go back next month a take two week Greek language and culture immersion class on the island of Syros. But last minute health issues forced us to cancel. We’ll try again next year can’t wait to go back to Greece.

    I can think of a couple of places you could visit especially by night and you will be thrilled by the view. The first is the roof of SNFC foundation where on the North you can see Acropolis on the south have a stunning view of the Faliro bay and to the west see a part of Pireas and especially all of Kastella hill. The second is from the top of Kastella again view of Faliro all the way to the suburb of Glyfada and of course all of Athens since Kastella is one of the tallest hills in the area Athens - Piraeus.

Actually most of us locals dont go to tourist spots that often, although we all enjoy the occasional walk to the acropolis haha

    As a local totally agree with all places visited. Pls do try Ariston for traditional pies all fresh made. Do also try Kostas for the best souvlaki in Athens. Yes, fredo cappuccino (with cream for those with a sweet tooth) and no is nothing like what u drink in Starbucks... but also do order greek coffee to try it... Finally the cocktail scene is really good in Athens and not as expensive as Paris, London etc. Must try a cocktail with MASTIHA (mastic) or at least a shot of mastiha liqueur

    I believe most guides are licensed by the city they are in. Also I think it is great you support Ariel from Urbanist.
    Lastly our NYC subway is so screwed up with garbage and dirt. Now the crime is getting worse.So sad -people are slobs.
