The sellers of local shops and stores early in the morning put your products on open trays in front of the store and attract customers. Believe me, if you spend a little time, make sure you buy memory something nice.
Where to stay
Planning a trip to Athens in the summer, then you should take care of the hotel. Since mid-summer and especially in August, the price of hotel rooms is soaring, but despite this, almost all the hotels are overcrowded. Tourists, who plan most of the time to devote to acquaintance with the historical monuments, we recommend to choose hotels in Plaka and Syntagma. From here you can quickly walk to the Acropolis, without wasting time standing in long hours of traffic jams. From the roofs of the hotels located in these areas, a clear view of the historical part of Athens. The Central market, Monastiraki and thiseio areas perfect for lovers of night life and shopping. And for those who prefer a holiday in a luxury hotel should pay attention to Makriyanni district, which is located next to the metro station Acropolis.
