Acropolis of Athens
Lit up at night it's stunning from Monastiraki Square; also visible straight from the hotel rooftop breakfast.
Electra Rhythm Athens
On Ermou St with Zara/H&M/Mango downstairs; rooftop breakfast facing the Acropolis, spa with heated pool and sauna, good price.
Zara Ermou
Come at the 9:00 opening to have the 4-floor store to yourself; prices way below Israel (a jacket~$29 vs~$95) – press Tax Free at self-checkout.
Ermou Street
Athens' main shopping street – all the brands in one strip; feels like Tel Aviv but still fun.
Tartufo Cucina Italiana
More upscale – about double the price of a local taverna – but great for Italian food lovers: salads, feta-and-olive pizza, pasta.
Athinaikon
Two branches with the same name – go to the less touristy one. Don't miss the moussaka; €37 for two with lots of dishes.
Birdman
The recommendation followers repeated most – sushi, tuna, grilled corn. Book ahead; less suitable if you're pregnant.
H&M Ermou
Fitting rooms have a smart screen that auto-detects the items you brought in and shows other colours and matching pieces.
Neoklassiko
A locals' gyros spot near Syntagma, a minute from the Electra Rhythm hotel.
72H Artisanal Bakery
TikTok-famous with a long line, but it moves in 5-7 min. Filled croissants €3.90 Nutella / €4.70 pistachio; there's also a rooftop restaurant.
Lukumades
Too tired to go out? Order loukoumades to the hotel on Wolt – delivery took about 30-40 minutes.
Tylixto Greek Wrap
Excellent gyros, but skip the dolmades here – they were less good.
Choureal Choux & Profiterole
On Ermou St – choux with pâtissier cream topped with white and dark chocolate. Very sweet but delicious.
Academy of Athens
Worth passing by at night – the neoclassical building with the columns is beautifully lit.
Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens
Nice night photo spot – the lit facade works well for portraits.
Εθνικός Κήπος (National Garden)
Followers say it's about the only thing in Athens that works for young kids.
