See Athens like a local!
Athens, an ancient city, is known as the birthplace of civilization. Situated right next to the Mediterranean sea and close to the mountains, there are so many incredible things to do in Athens.
The first thing on your list of things to do in Athens is to, of course, head to the Acropolis. There's also the beautiful Lycabettus hill nearby, and the whole area under the Acropolis called Monastiraki and Plaka that are absolutely worth exploring on foot.
And if you start getting hungry, sit down at a local taverna to enjoy an assortment of 'mezedes', traditional Greek small shared plates. Or if you're looking for a more authentic experience, why not book a lunch or dinner with one of our Athens hosts? They'll show you what famous Greek hospitality is all about!
