I love the restaurants in Athens - they're just so amazing. The chefs in the city do a great job giving a variety of foods from Greek cuisine, from the old to the new. I found this link with a nice list of nine restaurants that I plan to try. What do you guys thing? Have you been to any of these?

 
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!

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?

Should you come to Athens in the winter?

I have never been to Greece in winter and I was considering it. I found this video - it was very informative! Thought I'd share:

Tips for saving money in Athens?

I'm planning a trip to Athens and though I'm excited, I'm also trying to be mindful of my budget. The charm of historical sites like the Acropolis, the Plaka district, and experiencing the vibrant Greek culture is something I cannot put a price tag on. However, I am looking for ways to stretch my euros further while enjoying what Athens has to offer.

Does anyone have tips or personal experiences to share on saving money while traveling in Athens?

Best Shopping in Athens

My wife and I are going to Greece in a few days. We both like to shop (her more than me) but we've never actually had enough time in Athens to explore the shopping.

Where should we go?

Someone told us Monastiraki is a good choice, but are there other places? We'll have a few days to poke around.
