Best Inn, Athens

Advantages: located in the city centre
Disadvantages: sometimes very crowded

...The national museum in Athens is one of the best museums in Greece, where a visitor can see the antiquities of the ancient Greek world and not only. As an archaeologist the Athens museum was and still is a great school for me and helped me learn various things studying on its exhibits. The numerous collections from the Prehistoric, Bronze, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman Age impress every single visitor. Many great and famous exhibits from the Classical Greece are exhibited in this museum and lots of people travel from all over the world to see them. The museum in Athens is the best place to be, especially for those who are keen on exloring and learning the past in any level.

...this you will find the shopping and eating areas.The shops claim to be 20% cheaper than athens stores, however spirits are best bought at the large supermarkets in athens ( champion and carrefour )... both french chains with a good selection of spirts and wines greek and french at very low prices. The main thing to remember about the area of shops and eating places is that you should not proceed to your gate until you did what you had to do. Why?

...Everybody should go to Athens at some point!!!!IT is amazing how you feel that you travel back in time and how much you learn!! Ok, it is not the most beautiful city of the world. Greece is great, but Athens is not beautiful. It is very interesting though. Akropolis and Parthenon, surrounded by the old town of Plaka, are the most important reasons for visiting athens. Whilst on Akropolis, you can see the whole city underneath. Reading and learning about the history of the town is fascinating!!! The National Museum is one of the best museums i have ever seen. It would be better though if you had a guide with you ,because the most interesting thing is the story that lies behind every exhibit. Sunio is a lovely place to go too, the temple of Apollo is a wonderful architectural structure. And of course, don't forget to see Athens by Night... Read review
