I want to take a few hours and explore the city before I hop onto my flight to Santorini but I don't want to lug my bags around. Is there anywhere that I can keep my luggage for the day?

What a great option!!! Everyone should know about this :) If I knew about this before I would have left the airport during my tragic flight delays where I had gotten so bored waiting at the terminal

There is a left luggage in the check in hall at Suvarnhabumi airport (assuming that's where you will be). It is approximately behind block Q. There is a big sign there. Hope this helps.

So detailed! Thank you for this
 
This is interesting. Has anyone used this before? I would only really feel safe using a locker...

Proper Greek Coffee in Athens?

It’s been over 10 years since I’ve been to Athens, and I’m heading back soon. One thing I’m really looking forward to is sitting down for a proper Greek coffee—but I want the real deal, not some watered-down version in a touristy café.

Back when I visited years ago, I remember stumbling into a tiny place with older locals playing tavli, strong coffee being brewed in briki pots, and that unmistakable smell of roasted grounds—it was perfect. Of course, I didn’t write the name down, and who knows if it’s even still there.

Any recommendations for places like that? Somewhere that serves traditional Greek coffee, in an authentic, no-frills environment where you actually feel like you're in Greece, not just a photo-op café. I’d love to hear about your favorite spots, especially if they’re a bit off the beaten path.

Best Athens Restaurants with Acropolis Views?

I’ve been to Athens many times over the years, but one thing I never get tired of is a great meal paired with an Acropolis view. I’ve already been to a few of the classic spots, but for my next trip I’d love to branch out and try something new, maybe somewhere a little unexpected, or a place locals actually enjoy as much as visitors.

I’m open to anything: modern Greek, traditional tavernas, rooftop bars with small plates, or even hotels with great terraces that allow non-guests. What are your favorite restaurants in Athens with Acropolis views?

Information About Hadrian's Library

I’ve been to Athens before and have seen the main highlights like the Acropolis, the Agora, and the big museums. On my next trip, I want to dive deeper into the history and explore some of the sites I skipped the first time. One that caught my attention is Hadrian’s Library, near Monastiraki.

From what little I know, it was built by the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, and at one point it wasn’t just a library but also included lecture halls and courtyards. I love the idea that Athens was still such a vibrant center of learning during the Roman period, and I’d like to understand more about what’s actually left today.

For anyone who has visited: what should I look out for when walking through Hadrian’s Library? Are there details or stories that make the ruins come alive? Any historical context to know beforehand?

Athens - Historical Sites I May Have Missed?

I’m gathering information for a potential future trip to Athens. I’m Greek and have been to the city many times over the years, but I’ve realized there’s still so much I haven’t explored—especially when it comes to lesser-known ancient sites.

I’m really interested in hidden gems of Ancient Greek history—places that aren’t on every tourist itinerary. I already know the Acropolis and the major museums pretty well, so I’m looking for smaller ruins, overlooked temples, or quieter archaeological spots that might be a little off the radar.

I’d love to hear about places that feel special or atmospheric, even if they’re not as polished or popular. Bonus if they’re easy to reach from the city center, but I’m open to anything meaningful.

If you’ve come across anything like that, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

Tips for bargaining in Monastiraki flea market?

I’ve been to Monastiraki flea market many times over the years, but I have to admit — I’ve never been very good at bargaining. I usually just pay whatever the seller asks, even though I know part of the fun (and the tradition!) is negotiating a little.

Since I’m Greek, I’ve watched relatives and friends haggle with ease, and they always seem to walk away with better prices and a smile. For me, I either feel awkward asking for less or I give in too quickly.

Do you have any tips for how to bargain without offending the sellers? Is there a “right” way to approach it — like starting with a certain percentage lower, or walking away and waiting for them to call you back? I’d love to hear how others handle it, especially for souvenirs, antiques, or little treasures in Monastiraki.
