Pros: Lovely to spend time exploring the lives and rituals of ancient Greece Cons: I was disappointed with the Acropolis itself
Look at any guidebook or map of Athens, and there seems to be a bewildering amount of Ancient Greece to be able to explore. A quick wander round the city reveals perspex covered holes in the pavement or preserved columns at the side of Metro stations ...
Pros: There are some beautiful areas of the city. Cons: Pollution is a huge problem.
Back in September I wrote a review of Lufthansa (which most of you seemed to like) but I never got around to writing a review on my destination. My destination was (drum roll, please) Greece. My adventure started in Athens. I arrived at the new Athen ...
Pros:Lush secenery in Plaka area, catch an outdoor cafe looking at 2000 years of history! Cons:That we only had 2 full days for this great city!
Athens and our Tips We loved Athens and mainly due to our personal guide. It proved reasonable, and here now is a personal bio of a man who built a life by personal travels and trials - read on and become engrossed with our new Greek friend and ...
Pros: Fun, fascinating and altogether fabulous Cons: Chaotic and confusing for the first time visitor
The first thing I should say is that I never visited Athens purely as a tourist. I lived in Greece for three years, and spent the first two in Halkida, on an island called Evia, about an hour and a half north of Athens (well worth a day out for seafood ...
Pros: Fascinating historical sights.Easy to travel on the Metro. Cons: Lots of construction sites because of forthcoming Olympic Games in 2004.
It has been said of Athens 'it is an acquired taste'. My wife and I visited the city near the end of Summer when it is a slightly cooler climate. Our first impressions were not favourable. Ugly,hectic traffic, and a not very friendly taxi driver - all...
Pros: Very inexpensive dining and shopping Cons: Quite rustic, especially lavatories :(
Review Topic: Practical Information
October, 4:55 PM -- Arrived in Athens about 2:30 with no problems. Quite impressed with Sabena airlines, as they went out of their way to make everybody comfortable on the long flights to...
NOTE: This is the second in a series of Epinions highlighting my honeymoon in Greece. The first is subtitled <A HREF= http://film.epinions.com/trvl-review-45A9-B87104B-39E46A55-prod1...
GENERAL
I just returned from my first trip to Greece, which was during mid-November. Much to my surprise, I loved Athens, even though I'd heard many negative things about it, prior to my trip. However, it is possible that because I went...
Pros: The history Cons: Very dirty and not very friendly
Well, to put it bluntly my hubby and I absolutely hated Athens and are quite happy that we only stayed there for 2 nights on the way to the Islands, and then one day on the way back to Canada.
As one who has to fight tooth and nail for only two weeks of vacation a year, I am happy to have made this trip. In mid-September, I took off a week and two weekends to go to Mykonos and Santorini. Athens, merely the hub to the Greek (Cycladic) islands,...
Pros: Visual, historical adventure for the culture enthusiast who likes to walk. Cons: It often gets super-hot in this polluted, crowded city.
Since I'm from New York, it was pretty convenient and extremely economical for me to fly to Athens from Toronto rather than any of the local airports. If the US dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rate is good during the time you're looking to head to Greece...
Pros: Acropolis and nightlife in Monasteraki Cons: Dirty City. Not very well preserved remains
If you are planning to travel to Greece, obviously you cannot miss Athens but do not to stay much more than three days. Why? Athens is facing big-city problems such as congestion, traffic and noise, pollution and...cockroaches in the streets; plus three...
Pros: exotic, ancient, educational, beautiful Cons: Athens- air pollution, population Santorini-none
Traveling through Greece is like starring in your own feature show on the archeology channel.
The ruins of ancient Greece that the public has access to are breathtaking and fills one with a sense of wonder and discovery and brings out the Indiana...
Pros: Multifaceted, modern meets ancient. Cons: pollution, traffic.
What people have to understand and when they set foot in Athens is
that there is much more than meets the eye. Much can be said about
other large cities. New York, for example. At first, you notice
the garbage, the chaos, the noise, the...
