I love Athens. It has friendly and laidback feel and lots of personality. Things just happen: religious processions, street music, etc.

5/5 - Excellent

There is a lot to see in Athens. You turn a corner and there is another interesting historical something to explore. The people are friendly and the food is amazing. Nothing was expensive. Like all big cities, it's really busy even in winter.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

The only reason to go to Athens is to see the ancient ruins. Modern Athens is an ugly city blighted by traffic.
