You will find Parthenon Hotel, a modern establishment with a classic ambience, below the Acropolis\\\' rock, the most significant archeological site in Greece, with the immortal monuments of mankind. It is located in a quiet side street, a short walk to the Acropolis, the Temple of Zeus, Syntagma Square, right at the rim of Plaka and it consists of 79 rooms. The hotel has been fully renovated and refurbished in 1997. The hotel also offers a lounge, restaurant, bar and conference facilities for up to 150 persons.
Advantages: History second to (almost) none Disadvantages: The traffic and fumes, and the awful airport
...Arrive in Athens as I did, to the worst airport in the world, dumped from the airport bus in the centre of the city on a hot night, unaware of where I was even though I had a map, unable to read the street signs or get a taxi, and you’ll probably want to turn right round and go back home. However, the city grows on one, albeit rather slowly. I saw two completely separate road accidents while crossing the road to my hotel one day, and you need to take care on the pavements when approaching a corner because vehicles tend to use the pavements in preference to the road, and you may well meet one head on. Of course it is difficult to use the pavements anyway, because their main reason for existence is apparently to provide parking space for cars. However, on a brighter note, the history which meets you at every turn is incredible, and Athens...

Advantages: good for history Disadvantages: no beach
...The trip to Greece, home of Homer, the Gods, Democracy, modern thought and a cast of characters too numerous to list and many with names too difficult to pronounce. The long awaited moment you have been saving for. But as you make your way through the Athens airport and then to your hotel downtown there is an uneasy feeling brewing inside.
The traffic, the endless concrete of apartment buildings is not what they
showed you on the tourist brochures. No men in skirts and pom-pommed shoes walking the streets of Athens. No sign of Anthony Quinn. Just a big sprawling, congested, noisy, chaotic, polluted city. You know that your Greek island paradise vacation awaits you but first you must survive this final
test...Athens....

Advantages: great history, nice weather, great night-life Disadvantages: noisy and polluted city
...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...

Last year, I found out that my boyfriend would be going to a conference in Athens in June '08. I immediately decided that whether he wanted me to or not, I was going to be coming along. Well, not to the conference or anything but to Athens. I'd never... more
I've owned this game for little over 24hours, I'd say I know pretty much everything there is to know about the game, now that's not cos it's simple, or that it's an easy game, it's most likely cos I've played it for around 12 of the 24 hours I've owned... more
