Traveling with Becky- Athens

Today I thought I would share with you what I thought of my latest travel destination, Athens. I went at the beginning of this month which I think is a perfect time to visit as it is warm, but not too hot. This destination is good for if you want a short break or a longer holiday. If you are planning to have a short break then you can fit in all the must sees. While if you have a longer 1 week holiday then you can take things at a slower pace, and you will never get bored. So, lets get started.

Must Sees 

• The Acropolis 
• The Acropolis Museum ( which I recommend seeing before the actual Acropolis ) 
• The Benaki Museum ( free entrance on Thursday) 
• The National Gardens 
• Lykavittos ( the higher point in Athens) 
• Plaka

Things to see if your having a longer holiday 

• Hydra, Poros and Aegina - on a one day boat cruise. 
• The Museum of Cycladic Art
• Bema ( for an amazing view of the Acropolis and a nice walk) 
• Temple of Olympian Zeus 
• Byzantine Museum 
• Marathon Lake 

Those are a few things I recommend visiting. Now for the food or things to try: 

• Oikeio Restaurant 
• Chez Michel 
• Efcharis
• Try their Fresh Orange Juice 
• Greek Coffee 

Other useful information: 

They have a very good underground which is very easy to use, taxies are also cheap to use. 

I highly recommend Athens, I loved it. So, enjoy yourself if you are planning to go. 

For any beauty lovers then you have to check out Korres, they have their products in most pharmacies and they also have a store. I will definitely be going back. 

I hope this was helpful for you guys. I hope you consider going and if you do, enjoy.
