Licensed by the Greek National Tourist Organisation (G.N.T.O) WHERE TO STAY IN ATHENS: When in Athens, recommended areas to stay are Plaka, Syntagma, Makrigiani, Monastiraki, Thission, Acropolis and Omonia. These areas all border the Acropolis and the archaeological sites around it. Everything you need including transportation, shops, restaurants, and nightlife is within walking distance. For this reason be aware if you are booking through a US-based travel agent because in many cases they may know the classification of the hotel but be totally ignorant of the location, which is very important. Some of the nicest American style hotels have lousy locations and in most cases there is a comparable hotel within walking distance of the Acropolis. RESTAURANTS IN ATHENS: Some good restaurants in the Plaka are the following: Psara Fish Taverna:It is one of the oldest Tavernas in the Plaka, dating back to 1898. Actually it is my favorite restaurant in the Plaka. It is on the corner of Erotocritou and Erehtheos streets up the steps that lead from the Plaka to the Acropolis. Byzantino: This is the restaurant of choice for many locals in the Plaka The Plaka Restaurant: They specialize in Greek oven dishes, grilled meats and fish. Eden Vegetarean Restaurant:If you are a vegetarean I suggest going to the EDEN Restaurant on the corner of Misicleos and Lissiou streets. Some good restaurants near the Plaka are the following: Socrates Prison Taverna:Excellent grilled chicken, roast lamb and other meats, and great wine. It's a little expensive and the servings are small but it has got a nice atmosphere. Make sure you order your wine first because service can be a little slow sometimes and it takes the edge off waiting. It's on Roberto Galli street. Palia Taverna:This is a famous old Taverna, behind the old Olympic Stadium.The food is excellent. Strophi:It is on the rooftop of an old building in Makrianni, a short walk from the Plaka, with a great view of the Acropolisl. The food is excellent and you never know which famous dignitary or celebrity will be sitting next to you. Psiri:The area of Psiri has a number of good restaurants, bars and cafes and really jumps on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday during the day.
