Athens, between culture and relaxation!

Athens, capital of Greece, cradle of the European culture, are not a tourist destination like the others. One goes to Athens to find the origins of humanity, one goes to Athens to discover the oldest vestiges of the world, one goes to Athens to meet the Mediterranean!
“Philosophy”, “Democracy”, “Theatre”… one does not discuss these matters without naming this historical city!
In ancient Athens you will visit the Acropolis, Propylées, Erechthéion, the theatre of Dionysos, the Agora, the cemetery of Ceramics… In the North of the city, you will see the Roman Agora or forum, the baths of Aéridon, the tower of the Winds… Finally around Plaka you will find the Old Palate (which are the Parliament), the door of Hadrian and Olympieion, the Olympic stadium of 1896…

In Athens, there are thousand things to see! And thousand things with living: Athens did not remain at times of Socrate, even if the city preserved its monuments. In Athens, there is a life the night! The districts of Thissio, Psiri or Kolonaki are very animated and connected Greek youth meets there every evening!
Athens lends itself to the cultural stays, you will have included/understood it, but not only!
Athens, it is the Mediterranean city par excellence; sun, sea and olive-trees… A climate which will charm you; perfect for summer holidays. You will find beaches paying (4-5€), in the south of Pirée and public beaches like that of Elliniko
In Athens, there are so much things to make, which you will have to make of the economies on certain things… (Eh yes!) Start by choosing a ticket low cost, but especially take our advice as for lodgings:
The inns of youth often propose a quality-price ratio higher than the small hotels of Athens. In general, the hotels or inns are located in the same district of Omonia, but this one is not always frequentable! We prepared you here a small list of inns placed well, quality, and proposing affordable prices:
The inn of youth Hostel Aphrodite' S house is located in a residential district (Einardou Street & Mickael Voda), with some steps of the archaeological museum and Acropolis. Proposing simple but comfortable dormitories starting from 14 euros (!), the inn is very cheap. It has a bar (glass of welcome is offered to you!), which ensures a very festive environment in the inn, ideal for young routards.
The inn of youth The Student and Travellers In is located in the district of Plaka (historical quarters of Athens). She proposes beds in dormitory starting from 20 euros. Each room has air-conditioning and some even a balcony. Very recently a fast connection Internet was installed, it is accessible free. You can have your Greek traditional breakfast in the court of the inn.
Finally the inn of AthenStyle youth, located in the historical quarters of Monastiraki, close to the animated district of Psyri, proposes dormitories starting from 18 euros. Artistic inn, it is known to take part in events as the “I-Decorate” which made it possible to gaining of a contest of art to decorate the rooms with the inn. The latter offers the Greek breakfast to you. You will be able to often attend musical and pictorial events which occur there.
Athens is not a destination reserved to the only pensioners! You can find very inns of very cheap youth, located in districts sympas. In Athens you can cultivate yourselves the morning, and slacken you after midday on the public beaches of the city; and all that without you to ruin.
