• Sports Park

Safety in Athens

Even with such a beautiful history, many travelers are alarmed by how many streets in Athens are run down, dirty, smelly, and filled with graffiti. To make sure you stay safe use caution when walking in these areas at night: Kolokotroni, Omonia, Victoria Square, and Exarchia.

One of the safest areas to take a night stroll through is Plaka. In general, though, Athens is a really safe city despite how it may look in certain areas. It ranked 39 out of 162 cities across the globe from the safest to the most dangerous.

Athens today

Today, Athens is vibrant and packed with visitors from different corners of the world. There are over 5,000 places to get food from. And between Athens and Piraeus (a port city outside of Athens), there are over 70 museums to tour. With over 100 sites to explore, you’ll never experience a dull moment.

Pack proactively

Athens has a Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters. When we say hot, we mean temperatures can easily climb up to 101°F (38°C).

So pack lightweight clothing, sunscreen, and a hat to protect yourself from the sun. Be extra mindful of the heat when heading to archaeological sites that don’t have much protection from the sun.

Also wear your most comfortable pair of shoes, since you’ll likely be walking a lot.

When in Athens, behave like an Athenian

Understand local customs. Greeks are known for their hospitality and friendliness. Try learning a few basic Greek phrases, such as "Kalimera" (good morning) and "Efharisto" (thank you) to have the best experience possible.

Athens Airport to Athens by bus

The bus is the cheapest option to get you to your Airbnb or hotel. A ticket for the Athens airport bus costs $6.38 (€5.50) and it will take you directly to Syntagma Square in an hour.

Athens Airport to Athens with Daytrip

A private car transfer with Daytrip is the smoothest option. You’ll get door-to-door service, and luggage assistance, and be driven by a local driver who speaks English. Mix comfort and convenience by scheduling your transfer with Daytrip and planning the stops you’d like to see along the way.

Considering prices can be as low as $15 per person to avoid all the public transportation hassle, we'd say this is the best value, especially if you're traveling in a group.

Athens Airport to Athens by rental car

Traveling by car gives you optimal flexibility. Just remember that you might have to pay tolls depending on the road you take. Aside from being able to stop whenever and wherever you’ll have to find parking once you arrive. In 2020, there were a total of 4.4 million vehicles in Athens, meaning that parking may be a burden and traffic jams are common.

Play with lemurs (yes, you can touch them)

The Attica Zoological Park is an animal lover's paradise. While many people have different opinions on how ethical zoos are, this animal park allows you to see over 2,000 animals. The best part?

You can hold and play with their ring-tailed lemurs. Aside from the lions, giraffes, penguins, and other animals, the lemurs are a highlight for visitors who want an interactive zoo experience.

Take time to dine

Athens is a paradise for food lovers. With thousands of places to choose from here are some restaurants that are affordable and extremely tasty:

• The Brunchers
• Bandiera
• StreetWok
• Pax Burgers
• Tylixto Greek Wrap

See outer space

One of Athens’ most fun and educational experiences is located at the Eugenides Foundation New Digital Planetarium, near the port. Here you can watch a 360-degree documentary on the solar system and the grandeur of the universe. There are more movies and shows available, and headsets are given to each viewer so they can choose which language to tune into via radio.
