Weather..............
by everdawn57
Well weather in athens and greece generally is very weird....in case you go there summer it will be very hot - very very hot- in july and athens canbe a very nasty smothering place to walk around...the answer is to get to closer beaches, carry always a bottle of water and wear light white colours. Winters on the other hand can be harsh, rainy very very cold (especially in the mountainous areas of the mainland and the windy islands) and sometimes snowy.....don't expect beaches and sun during winter.....
Visit the ('high place')...
by TerryP
Visit the ('high place') Acropolis. Walk through The Temple of the Wingless Victor and look around at the city that surrounds you. It's the best way to get a full view of this huge city! But watch out the steps are very slippery!! The Parthenon at the Acropolis. This picture below shows the temple, currently under restoration.
Perspective?
by bakpakchik
Ah yes ... perspective does make it bette.r Not quite there yet, but better nonetheless. If you try really hard, you can imagine that the scaffoldings and reinforcements aren't there. A bit tiresome really, but I'm just being too picky, eh?
Ugly metal or not: the Acropolis was worth it.
Neighborhood Tip 2: Psyri
by WillAntoniou
Psyri is basically a small neighborhood which is all clubs and bars and lounges. If you are looking for a good nightlife experience, check it out. If you are New Yorker, it's sort of like the Meatpacking District, but cheaper lol. There are so many clubs. Look at my nightlife tips to read about them more specifically.
Psyri is next to Monastiraki, so you will be in the center of Athens essentially. Check it out. All of the beautiful people, both men and women. Good music and good drinks.
Athenian style.
by Guantanamera
Many Greek women prefer very tight, form fitting apparel... and you won't hear me complaining! I have noticed this trend over the last few years in Greece... And I never see the preference for this style in other parts of Europe or the United States, but it is very popular in Athens... Black is also a popular color choice...
