Athens. I’m just saying it won’t be terrible to spend a few days there.

Athens is fine. It’s just not nearly as cool as any number of islands.

I loved Athens. I expected it to be dirty, and, well, "shitty," and it wasn't at all in my experience.


It's "shitty" but I didn't think it was much different than New Orleans.

I've been to way shittier international locales so Athens was cool enough. I kinda like shitty places

OP, you can get what you want done in 2 full days if you need to do it that quickly.

I think the fact I live in the CBD skews my idea of shitty because I thought Athens was way cleaner than Nola.

I'd say 2-3 days max. After the Parthenon and a few museums, its just I wouldn't know what else to do.

Monastiraki square is cool though. Lots of cool shops and restaurants.

The islands are way cooler.

So I have booked flights for Italy and Greece in May


I'll be there at the end of May. Flying from Venice to Santorini. Then taking the highspeed ferry to Athens for two nights before flying back.

Rhodes, thank me later.

In Athens, stay near Syntagma or Moastiraki perhaps the Astor or the Attalos.

Go to the Central Market early one morning.
