Eating a gyros or a souvlaki is a much a part of a trip to Athens as visiting the Acropolis. The only problem is that you may not know the difference between the two.

The place was alright but the area it is in is a bit scary especially if you arrive at night plus the area is a bit quiet. However, it is very near to the metro station so there's no problem getting around Athens.

Athens was not quite as wonderful as people suggested. Historically it is brilliant, but the people are less than desirable. As a female my experiance with the males there was less than pleasnt. for no reason or instigation they would grope you or grab you and follow you to your hotel. I dont suggest going alone. Other than the lack of tact it is def a place you should visit at least once!
