    Athens is indeed a unique city with much splendor and much to do. I liked this video but perhaps with your next video show footage of the area of Kolonaki and the gorgeous shops, restaurants & cafes one can find there. Another secret of Athens [the Greeks don’t want tourists to discover] is the gorgeous areas of Kifissia, Kefalari, Nea Erythrea & Pyschiko etc all of which are located in the northern suburbs only a 25 minute drive from town. I highly recommend a lunch in Kifissia or Nea Erythrea followed by some shopping and then visiting a bar in the quaint area of Nea Erythrea. Oh and the beaches in the area of Vouliagmeni [south Athens] & in particular Astir Beach [no tourists know it] and only 25 minutes from town. Once you’ve done that I don’t see how one can’t fall in love with Athens. Always happy to advise if anybody wants……Anyway I loved my time in Athens! Thx David.

      +Davidsbeenhere The neighbourhoods I mentioned are perfect for relaxing. Very different to down town Athens. You should def check them out……complete opposite to the centre. Also sorry to be blunt but…..Monastiraki has the worst souvlaki restaurants in Athens! I't's shameful that people eat there and think that's authentic greek food when it's absolutely not. If you want good food in Athens avoid the centre and venture to the above mentioned neighbourhoods. Just being honest.

    Very nice video thanks a lot. Some extra info :-) Athens is not as dangerous as some think. Like all large cities, one will find good and bad areas. The prices are lower since the crisis hit the country and the services really good. The metro lines are really good and can get you everywhere whereas the buses are just ok. The ones that will go as visitors to an Athenian friend, will have the chance to experience the city from a local point of view, which can be majestic ;-)
