Recommendations and tips

Athens is a city with an ample amount of history, culture and architecture. While on vacation in Athens, try to make sure to visit the Acropolis. This ancient site is home to multiple ancient temples, including the renowned Parthenon. It’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes and carry plenty of water due to the hot temperatures encountered there. Additionally, explore the Plaka neighborhood situated at the Acropolis’ base. Known for its narrow lanes, traditional buildings and variety of restaurants, shops and cafes, take a leisurely walk to soak up the atmosphere. Follow that by heading to Ancient Agora, once the center of town and thriving marketplace, now a much-visited tourist spot offering a window into Athens’ past.

Witness the Changing of The Guard ceremony every hour on the hour at Syntagma Square’s Tomb of The Unknown Soldier for a colorful and noteworthy experience. As well as going through The National Archaeological Museum’s alluring array of artifacts and sculptures that narrate Greece’s story. Savour some traditional Greek food while in Athens – moussaka, souvlaki and tzatziki are some famous dishes worth trying out. Lastly, if you’re looking for a tranquility respite from your sight, head to one of Athens’ many parks, such as the National Garden or Lycabettus Hill.

If you’re planning to rent a car in Athens, it’s always recommended to book in advance. The earlier you book your car, the cheaper prices will be. Visitteo makes it easy for you, compare prices of all the car rental agencies at once and find the cheapest offer. Compare and save more than 40% on your car rental in Athens. Don’t forget to document any existing damage before picking up your car and read through your contract thoroughly, so there are no surprises. Drive cautiously and observe speed limits and other regulations. Utilize your GPS for navigation, no need to shell out additional money for renting GPS from a car rental agency. Just transform your phone into one, and be sure to bring along a charger and mount holder for easy viewing of the maps. To avoid an extra fee, try pumping your own gas. Most of the time, you need to either return rental cars with a full tank of gas or you’re stuck paying the exorbitant rates the companies charge for fuel.

If you’re in Athens, parking can be a bit tricky due to the city’s narrow streets and limited space. To make it easier on yourself, consider using a parking garage. There are several options located throughout the city, such as Parking Station (near the Acropolis), Parking Athinas (in the city center), and Parking Athens Mall (near the mall). Street parking is another option, but look out for white lines – they usually signify free spots. Make sure to read any signs carefully as some areas may have restrictions or time limits. A paid parking app could also be worth considering as you can be reserved and pay for your spot ahead of time. Additionally, many areas in Athens offer free parking on weekends and holidays, just remember to bring some coins or small bills to cover any charges from meters or attendants. Lastly, if you’d rather not drive at all, public transportation is a great option with buses, trams, and metro lines available across the city. With careful planning and flexibility, you’ll hopefully find an ideal spot for your car!

Drivers in Athens should be aware of pedestrians crossing the street at unexpected times, as jaywalking is quite common in the city’s downtown area. During rush hour, traffic is typical for any major city, lasting from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. in the morning and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the afternoon. However, outside of downtown, the traffic is not much of an issue. To find your way around town, you may want to use a GPS navigation system or even public transport such as buses, trams and metro lines, this could help you avoid traffic altogether! It’s also important to get acquainted with local regulations, driving takes place on the right side of the road and you will encounter roundabouts along your route. Taking into account that traffic can be unpredictable in Athens it is advisable to leave plenty of time for your journey and consider alternate routes if necessary. All things considered, with some patience and preparation navigating through Athens should be done safely and efficiently!
