Kolonáki, a stylish district roosting on Lykavitós´ slopes, provides well-heeled café culture with delightful scenery - on a clear day you can see across to the Acropolis, and the area is also great for shopping. A visit to the flea market near Plateia Monastirakiou is to experience Athens at its best - vibrant, passionate and colourfully chaotic.
If the hustle, bustle and high traffic levels get all too much, the city is also a very convenient jump point to one of the many idyllic Grecian islands.
