1 hour
Right in the heart of Athens is this politically charged district famous for its progressive social ideas and the dozens of very affordable tavernas, bars and snack-shops filled with university students from the nearby educational institutes.

Psiri

Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.

Monastiraki
30 min
Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.
