I’m planning a trip to Athens and need some advice on the best neighborhood to stay in. I've stayed in the Plaka and Thissio - both were fabulous. But with so many options, I am wondering if I am missing out. I’m looking for a place that’s central enough to explore the main attractions like the Acropolis, Plaka, and the museums, but also has a local vibe with good food and cafés.
I’ve heard great things about areas like Monastiraki, Plaka, and Kolonaki, but I’m curious about what each neighborhood has to offer. Are some better for walking and sightseeing? Which areas are quieter but still close to the action?
Also, safety is a priority for me, especially at night, so any insights on neighborhoods to avoid or tips for getting around would be much appreciated.
