Athens, Greece is perhaps the most coveted tourist destination in our world. Whether you are attracted by the history, the culture, or the food, there is no doubt that you are at least a little interested in visiting Athens. There are zillions of tour books available, all promising you the best possible trip to Athens. I will do my best to provide you with a few more "must sees" for your list.
Local's Food
Gyro - I don't have a name for this place, but I do have the memory. Your tour bus will definitely take you to the Placa (See Attractions) and they will drop you off across the street from a large open area. As soon as they do, and you start your walk down the bustling street, look immediately to your right. Tucked into the wall is a brightly colored gyro stand. Best gyro of my life.
Local Attractions
The Acropolis - The Acropolis is famous for its history and beautiful expression of the Grecian culture. If you can, try to visit the Acropolis at night. It is only at night when you can see the lights that accompany the monument in the most lovely fashion.
The Placa - The Placa is the largest shopping district in Athens. The main drag is littered with expensive boutiques and classy department stores. If you travel a little further, however, you will find yourself in the heart of a maze of stands and huts. This is where you will find the treasures.
