I have been to all the Michelin rated restaurants in Athens. My recommendations are as follows ( this is purely on the culinary experience, not the view):
1) Spondi
2) Botrini’s

Not Michelin rated, but worth a visit:

1) Aleria (prix fix)
2) Kouvelos (taverna)
3) Il Trovatore (Italian, Palio Faliro)
4) Aperando Galazio (seafood on the beach, Vari)
5) Margaro (taverna, Piraeus)

This is a great list! I have always wanted to dine at a Michelin rated restaurant in Greece, but the other places look great, too.

I haven't been to any of them personally and haven't heard of any of them except for Strofi. I have heard great things about that one! This list looks fantastic though. Sandyrigo, the list you posted also looks great, thank you for sharing!
 
I'm so glad you love the restaurants in Athens! I think the chefs here do a great job regarding the variety and quality of the food. I'm excited to hear that you're planning on trying out some of the restaurants on this list - I'm sure you'll love them! I haven't been to any of these restaurants, but I have heard great things about them from friends. The best one they recommended is https://www.riwa-restaurant.de/de/ with a great menu and prices. I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Ancient Eleusis Archaeological Site

I have been to Athens several times, and I didn't know this place existed. Ithas caught my interest due to its rich mythology and pivotal role in ancient Greek religious life.

I understand that Eleusis was a significant center for religious practices, most notably the Eleusinian Mysteries—secret ceremonies held in honor of Demeter and Persephone. However, my knowledge barely scratches the surface, and I’m eager to learn more before my visit.

Has anyone visited it? I don't know much about it and I am trying to figure out if it is worth it. I love Ancient Greek history and mythology and this has the potential to be interesting to me on a lot of different levels.

Taking the Ferry to Mykonos?

I am planning a trip for Greece next year to Greece. I usually fly into Athens and then fly into a place like Santorini or Mykonos from there.

I plan to go to Mykonos next summer and I am kind of sick of flying.

Is the ferry situation easy from Piraeus? Is this a better option than airplanes?

Someone told me I could wait until the last minute and buy the tickets that day, but I am not sure I feel comfortable with that...

Unique Photo Spots in Athens?

I will be traveling to Athens this year in the spring. What are some great photo spots throughout the city? Aside from what inspires me?

I have a bad habit of forgetting to take pics while away and I come back from the vacation with a random collection. This time, I want to do some advanced planning. Some of my ideas:

- Parthenon/ Acropolis - A shot with people and the Parthenon in the background
- Food photos - plenty of shots with people - and table shots - and of myself - eating the delicious food
- Monastiraki - This place is full of life - there could be some great candid shots

Do you guys have any ideas?
