Athens Capital Hotel MGallery
Central but quiet near Syntagma; huge shower, super comfy beds, and a rooftop pool that isn't heated — summer or warm days only.
Lycabettus Hill
Long staircase climb, but the view over the Acropolis, Plaka and the sea is 'wow' — worth the effort.
Taverna Klimataria
Book ahead. Live Greek music every night; order the oven vegetables with halloumi and the giant white beans — the stuffed pepper was just okay.
Zoubourlou
At Aischylou 4, 3 min from Soul Athens — excellent breakfast and coffee; try the scrambled-egg croissant, avocado toast and the kataifi dessert.
Εθνικός Κήπος (National Garden)
Don't skip it: quiet escape from Psyri/Plaka/Acropolis crowds, with a pond, ducks, swans and a waterfall; stroller-friendly paths.
Mokka Coffee Shop
Stop for traditional Greek coffee, part of the Athens for Foodies tour.
Acropolis of Athens
Best viewed from Lycabettus Hill, with Plaka and the sea in one frame.
PAME House Athens
Lovely boutique stay 200 m from Monastiraki Square, with a rooftop clawfoot bathtub and outdoor rain shower.
Taverna Saita
On Kydathineon 21 in Plaka — no tourist trap: grilled sardines with veg, fries and stuffed cabbage rolls.
Zampanó
On Sarri 18 — the hotel's breakfast spot, boutique and high quality; beautiful corner building.
360 Cocktail Bar
Come for brunch on the rooftop — stunning views over the city and the Acropolis.
Atlantikos
Authentic fresh-fish spot recommended for seafood lovers — try the red mullet and the shrimp pasta.
Geros Tou Moria
Lovely Plaka taverna with live Greek music and local dancers — good food and a happy atmosphere.
Kora Bakery
Pastry lovers: go for the glossy cardamom-sugar buns.
Moni Island
10-min boat from Perdika on Aegina: free-roaming deer and peacocks, sandy main beach with a beach bar, and a lagoon on the far side via the rocks.
Nancy's Sweet Home
Come for the rich, gooey chocolate cake — soft warm cake with melted milk chocolate, add mastic ice cream.
Varvakios Agora Central Market
Fun atmosphere — grab a fresh charcuterie platter in the market area, and finish with a meal at a nearby taverna.
Ya Zhou Taste of the Far East
For a break from Greek food: udon soup with fried tofu, bok choy and soft egg — and the sushi is great too.
Deus Apartments Athens Airport
Sweet apartment with a small garden, 10 min drive from Athens airport — 270 ₪ booked last minute.
Ariston
Historic pie shop on Voulis St. since 1910 — a stop on the food tour.
Brettos
Historic distillery bar on Kydathinaion 41 with a backlit wall of colorful liqueurs — great cocktails.
Clemente VIII Caffè
Pretty street-side spot for coffee and cake — she says they have great coffee.
Ergon House Athens
A sure thing in Athens — deli market, café and restaurant around the olive-tree courtyard; on her recommendation map.
Fotsi Spices
Colourful, fragrant spice shop by the market — dried citrus slices, rose buds, thyme and rosemary from ~€1-2 a pack.
Hotel Grande Bretagne
Worth a look at dusk when the facade on Syntagma Square is lit up.
MINU Athens
Tasty iced coffee and a chocolate chip cookie; great spot to sit and work remotely.
Ktima Papagiannakos
17 minutes from Athens airport — a cute wine stop before a flight, though she's been to more impressive wineries.
Lycabettus Hill Cafe
Wonderful stop facing the Acropolis view, but coffee costs €4.5.
Piraeus Port
Ferry from Piraeus to Naxos takes about 3.5-5 hours (she did 4 hours with Seajets).
