For first time travelers to Greece. There is a train directly from the airport to Athens. Monastiraki is probably the best place to accommodate your self. Pay that bit extra if you have to for your accommodation, it is worth it. Monastiraki is vibrant, and all the animals are there (figure of speech) restaurants, bars and easy walking distance to the sites. 3 days is enough, 4 maximum. There are no road rules and you will get ripped off. Not a case of when, but how much. So stay away from taxis. There is more to Greece than Athens. After you have done Athens, if you are staying longer, head south to the Peloponnese . Voidikilia beach is a MUST! No lounges no umbrella, so it's free, you have to bring your own and take it with you when you leave. Water is like swimming in a glass off water. Whilst the north of Greece is nice, the south has more to offer. Crete will blow your mind.
Thanks for the info. We stayed in the Mets neighborhood, great location and quiet community. We aren't in a rush, so glad we stayed 9 days as it gave us plenty of time to walk and explore local areas. We walked almost everywhere so took us "older folks" a little longer to get places! After Albania Athens driving seemed pretty laid back, but you do have to pay attention! We just made sure that we only used an official taxi that had a meter, so didn't have an issue with taxi scams thankfully. We intend to come back to Greece again in the future, so many places to explore!
At the 9:25 mark....wow that ceiling! And the food....looks tasty!
Doesn't do it justice in the video, but just blows your mind!
The food looks amazing!!
So good!

@@2TravelWithoutOrders Voidikiia beach is a must. I can't talk highly enough about this beach. Not a Greek. Prague is a must. Drive safe.
