Food in Athens
- charlieb: Where can I find the best souvlaki in Monastiraki that isn't a total tourist trap? Every place on the main square looks exactly the same.
Transport in Athens
- sophiek: The metro from the airport is super reliable but just a heads up it only runs every 36 minutes, so check the schedule before you head to the platform.
Activities in Athens
- marcor: Hiking up Lycabettus Hill for sunset is 100% worth the sweat. The view over the Acropolis is better than any rooftop bar.
Costs in Athens
- joshw: Is the 30 euro combo ticket for the ruins actually worth it if I only really care about the Parthenon?
Night life in Athens
- jenny_x: I really loved the vibe in Psirri. Way more local feel than Plaka and the bars are much cooler.
