The delicious food and drink scene is yet another reason to visit Athens. In Plaka, you will find charming Greek restaurants and stalls serving specialities such as gyros, moussaka and souvlaki. Stroll over to the Central Market Hall for fresh fish, olives and local cheeses. End the evening with a glass of ouzo and a plate of mezze on a terrace in the Psiri neighbourhood, where locals gather and the atmosphere is both relaxed and lively.
What else is there to do in Athens? Hop on a bike and explore the vibrant Monastiraki neighbourhood with its famous flea market, the charming Plaka district and the Panathenaic Stadium, the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble.
