Athens is a city that’s on everyone’s bucket list.

Planning a trip to one of the most known cities in the world is overwhelming, It can be so easy to make a few simple mistakes.
Here’s a complete list of what NOT to do in Athens. These are 17 common mistakes most travelers make in Athens, Greece.

Before you read about all the things you should NOT do in Athens, here’s a free printable checklist of all the things you SHOULD do!
Whenever I hear someone say they didn’t enjoy their trip to Athens, my first question is always “Where did you stay?”
Just like most major cities around the world, staying in an Airbnb an hour away from the city center can certainly make or break a trip. In Athens especially, it’s easy to end up somewhere not ideal for tourists.
Stick to staying in the neighborhoods of Psiri, Monastiraki, or Plaka.
All the neighborhoods I mentioned above are touristy, but within walking distance of most attractions and good restaurants.
If you are wanting to stay in a neighborhood more authentic, but still near the tourist hotspots, check out Exarcheia.
This is where a lot of young professionals live. It’s also a big artistic community where you’ll see punk rock-themed bars and graffiti everywhere. There are loads of good restaurants and bars in this area.
3. Eating at Tourist Trap Restaurants
Most of the time, when waiters are standing outside a restaurant heckling people to come inside, the food is not good.
There are parts of Athens that are touristy and have good restaurants, and other parts that are touristy that have bad restaurants. Plaka is one of those neighborhoods that is beautiful and has lovely shops but is notorious for its bad food.
Of course, the best food in Athens can be found in the residential outskirts of Athens where you likely won’t be. However! As mentioned; Psiri, Monastiraki, and Exarcheia all have wonderful dining options and are near the city center.
A few of my favorite restaurants are Bandiera, Oineas, and Avli.
4. Thinking It’s Warm Year-Round
Believe it or not, Greece can get cold. When I volunteered at a hostel in Athens during the month of November, travelers would check in all the time shocked that it was freezing. In fact, at times it can even snow (though this is rare).
While Athens is warm most of the year, it’s going to be chilly from November – March.
5. Just There For the Ruins
Athens is packed with all kinds of ancient monuments worth seeing. The Parthenon, the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the Panathenaic Stadium, the list goes on!
Oftentimes, travelers jam-pack their 2-3 day itinerary full of these tours and rarely leave room for the other parts of Athens that make it so great. This can lead a traveler to feel as if their trip is a history lesson rather than an enjoyable experience. It can totally be both!
Be sure to save time in your itinerary for eating at tavernas, the national gardens, or having a cocktail at Clumsies (one of the best cocktails in the world!)
Nobody likes a trip planned so tight, that it makes your brain hurt. So prioritize your list of monuments you’d love to see, but don’t overdo it.
6. Not Having Enough Cash
While cards will get you through most places in Athens, you’ll always want to have a few euros with you. There may be occasions where you need to tip a tour guide or pay for your meal in a cash-only taverna.
7. Ordering the Wrong Food
Greek food is some of the best cuisine in the world. Be sure to do just a little research on what to order, and what to expect.
Here is a quick cheat sheet to help you:
Authentic greek salads don’t have lettuce. Typically, they consist of tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, green bell pepper, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
In Greece, gyros & souvlaki are the traditional meat dishes, not kebabs. Souvlaki is meat skewers with pork or chicken. Gyros consist of your choice of shaved meat wrapped in pita with toppings. Of course, you will find kebabs in Greece, but souvlaki and gyros are the traditional dishes.
Most restaurants serve ouzo and a small house dessert after every meal.
Fresh orange juice is a must You’ll find it at any coffee shop or bakery.
Saganaki Cheese is a delicious appetizer.
While there are many well-known Greek desserts, Loukoumades are famous in Athens. These Greek donuts are a scrumptious treat for any foodie.
8. Skipping the Nightlife
Athens has some truly amazing nightlife. Don’t skip out on it! Some even declare Athens as “the new Berlin”.
Whether you’re looking for techno clubs, bougie cocktails, or dive bars – Athens really has it all.
Here are a few of my favorite nightlife spots in Athens:
-Techno: S.I.X dogs (weekends or special events only), BLAST Athens, or anywhere in the Gazi neighborhood.
-Cocktails: Barrett, The Clumsies, Juan Rodriguez
-Dive Bars: Handlebar, Bad Tooth
9. Not Watching Your Stuff
Just like in any major city, travelers will need to keep an eye on their belongings. Before you leave for your trip, make sure to get anti-theft purses or day bags.
Also, be sure to have your valuables locked up, even when you leave your room or Airbnb.
Hotels and hostels that have 24-hour security will greatly reduce the risk of your belongings getting stolen.
10. Staying at an Airbnb
Airbnb (in my opinion) is NOT the move in Athens.
There are times and places when I prefer Airbnb over hotels & hostels, but Athens is not one of them.
Athens is so big, you can easily catch yourself in a neighborhood that is still in Athens but is nearly 2 hours outside the city center.
The hotels & hostels in Athens are generally better located and are going to give you the biggest bang for your buck.
During my first week in Athens, I couldn’t understand how I kept getting mealtime “freebies”.
In most authentic greek tavernas, you will always be served some type of bread, a small dessert, and ouzo with your meal.
Of course, there are variations of this tradition depending on where you dine. If you don’t receive any of these traditional dishes, you are probably dining at a tourist hot spot.
12. Eating too Early
Mealtimes tend to be later in the day in Greece.
Lunch is typically served 2-3 pm and dinner around 9 pm.
13. Not Taking Metered Taxis
Not only should this rule just apply in Athens. but in every big city!
For transportation, you can take the subway, taxis, or Uber.
If you’re taking a taxi, just double-check BEFORE you get in the vehicle that you can see a meter. Or haggle with the taxi driver on a flat rate beforehand.
14. Forgetting to Cover Up in Churches & Monasteries
Stunning and historic churches are all over Athens. It’s expected to cover up and dress a little modestly to enter.
15. Thinking Tap Water is Dangerous
While water on the greek islands is not safe to drink, in Athens it’s perfectly fine.
Although safe to drink, there’s always a chance that your body isn’t used to drinking water in other countries. Check out life straw water bottles so your water is always filtered.
16. Buying Weird Souvenirs
Don’t get me wrong, weird souvenirs are a special type of awesome sometimes. In Athens. you will notice many of the souvenir shops all sell the same items. Most of the time, these “greek souvenirs” are not even made in Greece.
Here are ideas for traditional souvenirs to buy in Athens that you will love:
-olive oil
-custom leather sandals
-greek honey
-gold jewelry
17. Not Knowing a Few Greek Words
Most Athenians speak English, but it’s still important you learn a few Greek terms just so you can be more aware of your experience and surroundings.
Kalimera – good morning
Kalispera – good evening
Kalinichta – goodnight
Yasou – hello or goodbye
Parakalo – please/you’re welcome/ (also used when answering the phone)
Efcharistó – thank you
Tikanis – how are you?
Nai – yes
Thelo – I want
What Not to do in Athens
Overall, this list should be taken with a grain of salt! There simply is no right or wrong way to travel when you’re on vacation. I hope this post provided you with some tips for traveling in Athens.

Honest Review of Athens Hub Hostel
I arrived at Athens Hub Hostel after weeks of partying on the islands of Ios and Paros.
Completely drained and exhausted, I wanted to stay in a hostel that focused on comfort but still was somewhat social.
Athens Hub Hostel seemed like the place to stay.
Where to book
Typically I prefer to book hostels on hostelworld. Occasionally, if I have points for savings or I’m booking a private room, I use booking.com
Both these booking platforms are simple to use, have upfront cancellation & refund terms, and offer a level of protection that other websites may not offer.
Located in Psyri, this hostel is literally in the heart of Athens.
I loved being in the center of the city. I felt like the location is a huge advantage because it’s on a quiet side street near the main Psyri strip of bars and restaurants.
Surrounded by the hostel you’ll find plenty of delicious restaurants, bars, and easy access to many of the top attractions and tours in Athens.
Don’t forget your FREE Athens Checklist printable for your trip to Greece.
Spacious rooms at Athens Hub offer privacy in a way many other hostels miss the mark.
Every dorm features beds with curtains, lockers, hooks, and mirrors.
Here are the different types of rooms you can book at Athens Hub:
6-bed female, 4-bed female
8-bed mixed, 6-bed mixed
Private double, private double with extra bed.
Pictured above: 4-bed female dorm.
Bathrooms at hostels can make or break a stay. The bathrooms here were always kept impeccably clean. The showers are nicer than mine at home – it feels like a luxury spa experience.
Facilities
Some of the perks at Athens Hub are what make this hostel stand out.
Check out the bar/lounge area for a drink or if you need to work remotely. It’s a great place to socialize or work remotely.
They also offer a full (and affordable) breakfast menu in the morning that was tastier than some of the brunch spots I tried.
For a small fee or deposit, Athens Hub also offers laundry, hair dryers, and locks.
Activities & Social Life
Athens Hub Hostel is not a party hostel, but it can be social when you want it to be! I’ve stayed both when it’s bustling with outgoing hostel goers and when it’s quiet.
Unlike party hostels, Athens Hub is a hostel that has a nice level of social activities available for those who want them but prioritizes cleanliness, safety, and hospitality.
A few activities you can join are happy hour & board games, Pub Crawl, or a Free Walking Tour.
Overall, I think Athens Hub Hostel is a wonderful place to stay in the center of Athens. After two long stays, I can confidently say I would recommend this hostel to anyone, especially backpackers ages 18-35.

One of the most fascinating landmarks of Athens is, of course, the Acropolis.
The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky complex consisting of several buildings of great historical significance. The most complete building still standing today is the famous Parthenon.
This structure sits high in the middle of Athens, dominating the city and illuminating the night.
Be sure to make a visit to the Acropolis your top priority in Athens. Check out this Skip the Line Acropolis tour with a licensed archaeologist.
2. Tour the Ancient Agora of Athens
There are two Agoras of Athens – the Ancient and the Roman.
Once a thriving marketplace for Athenians, the Ancient Agora is a predominant piece of Athens history.
This complex includes the monumental Temple of Hephaestus, Stoa of Attalos, and a small museum.
Did you know the only stadium in the world built completely of marble resides in Athens? Only representing the most majestic theatrical experience for Athenians, this stadium is one of a kind.

Lycabettus hill offers one of the best views in the city.
To get to the top of Lycabettus, you can either climb the 200 steps to the top or take the cable car.
5. Take a Day trip to the Temple of Poseidon
Visit the temple dedicated to the “Master of the Sea”. Located on Cape Sounion, it’s just an hour from the center of Athens. This sunset tour includes full roundtrip transportation from the city.
6. See the Roman Agora
Constructed in the 1st century BC, the Roman Agora is another fascinating historical compound to see in Athens. Admire the gate of Athena from afar or pay 2 euros to take a stroll through the agora.
7. Acropolis Museum
After seeing the Acropolis, learn more about the history of the impressive structure at the Acropolis Museum.
Entrance to the museum is 5-10 euros. Additionally, it’s included in many Athens packages and tours like this guided tour here.
8. Anafiotika
Anafiotika is the charming neighborhood in Plaka that shows off its island-like architecture. With its white-washed buildings, clay pots, and bright colors, it’s one of the most colorful neighborhoods in Athens.
This neighborhood also offers one of the best viewpoints of the city.
9. Walk around Psiri & Monastiraki
Psiri & Monastiraki district is one of the trendiest areas of Athens. Streets are lined with cute cafes, fun nightlife spots, and stunning rooftop bars.
10. Eat chocolate cake at Nancy’s Sweet Home
Since you’ll be in Monastiraki, head to Nancy’s Sweet Home and get in line for one of their famous chocolate cakes.
11. Take a Free Walking Tour
Free walking tours are the best way to get to a new city without spending a fortune. Plus, it’s a great way to meet fellow travelers!
Rated one of the top 50 best bars in the world, The Clumsies is somewhere you must stop to have a drink.
I ordered a seasonal summer drink that came with a strip of sunscreen! Clumsies isn’t just any ordinary bar, it’s an experience.
13. Walk around Plaka
Plaka feels like a secret village in the center of Athens. Being the oldest neighborhood in the capital, a walk through the creaky whimsical streets beneath the Acropolis is a magical to experience.
14. Zappeion
The Zappeion is of the city center’s most well-known landmarks. Once used as the main fencing hall for the 1896 Olympics, the building is now repurposed for important meetings and ceremonies.
15. Stroll Through the Little Kook
Step into a fairy tale on one of the most unique streets in Athens! Little Kook is a completely themed street that changes themes every month. Not only is the street just decorated, but all the shops, cafes, and restaurants are too.
Some of my favorite themes have been Halloween, Christmas, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland.
16. Visit the Archaeological Museum
Showcasing extensive artifacts from Roman, Egyptian, and Greek history, the Archaeological Museum is yet another museum in Athens that is considered one of the best in the world.
17. See Syntagma Square
Syntagma square is often considered the heart of Athens. It’s one of the most popular spots in the city for shopping, protests, and other public meetings.
18. Walk Through the National Gardens
After you’ve seen Syntagma, head over to the beautiful National Gardens. The entrance is free, and it’s a stunning oasis in the center of Athens.
19. Take Advantage of Athen’s Nightlife
What most people don’t know is Athens has a seriously amazing night scene.
S.I.X dogs is one of the most popular bars/clubs in the city. The venue transforms from bar to club depending on the day so be sure to check their schedule.
Other great bars are Juan Rodriguez, Barrett, and Handlebar.
20. Go to a Rooftop Bar
Athens is full of rooftop bars with a jaw-dropping view of the Acropolis.
Some of the best rooftop bars are A for Athens, 360 Cocktail Bar, and Couleur Locale.
21. Eat Traditional Greek Food
While Greece is full of beauty and history, I must say the best part of this country is the cuisine. Traditional Greek dishes are some of the tastiest in the world.
Don’t forget to try souvlaki, saganaki, a Greek salad, and wash it all down with Ouzo.
A few of my favorite restaurants are Bandiera, Oineas, and Avli.
Have a great trip to Athens and be sure to save this post for your future trip to Greece!

This post is all about what to do in Paros + the Complete Paros Greece travel guide.
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure here.
Paros is a must-do on your Greek island-hopping itinerary.
Much like one of my other favorite islands, Ios, it offers the beauty, cuisine, and culture that many famous islands do but without breaking the bank and fighting crowds.
This is a true greek-island getaway that will not disappoint. If you don’t believe me, just check out these stunning photos of Paros.
Where to Stay
Parikia or Naoussa are where you’ll want to stay.
Parikia is cheaper and more authentic. Best for longer stays, backpackers, and budget travelers.
Naoussa is considered the main touristy part of the island. Best for short stays, main tourist points, and luxury hotels.
Regardless of where you stay, the bus system is great so it’s very easy to get around the island. Alternatively, you can rent a car.
I personally stayed at Paros Backpackers in Parikia and loved it.
Looking for what to do in Paros? Here are 14 things to do in Paros.
1. Paros Park
An adventurer’s haven. With 800 acres of protected seaside, you’ll find hidden coves, hiking paths, secret beaches, and a lighthouse.
I hiked to the lighthouse to watch the sunset and it was the highlight of my trip!
2. Santa Maria Beach
A beach lovers’ paradise! Santa Maria beach is one of the most commercialized and popular beaches in Paros. It offers sunbeds, beach bars, sandy beaches, and turquoise waters.
3. Naoussa
Naoussa is the most popular village in Paros. With its stone alleys and vibrant flowers, it’s easy to see why Naoussa is one of the biggest tourist hot spots on the island
In the center of Naoussa, you will find many hotels, bars, shops, and restaurants.
4. Panagia Ekatontapiliani Church
Located in Parikia, this beautiful monastery is one of the best paleo Christian structures in all of Greece. Legend has it, the church was constructed by Saint Constantine.
5. Kolymbithres Beach
Kolymbithres offers a unique beach experience. This beach is known for its large boulders and unusual rock formations.
6. Naoussa Old Port
Stroll alongside the old port of Naoussa where you can see the fisherman, boats, and seaside restaurants.
7. Parikia
Parikia town is my favorite village on the island. It offers cheaper prices, more authentic Greek culture, and nightlife.
8. Party at the Dubliner
By far the best club on the island! This is where the backpackers and locals go to have a crazy night out.
9. Antiparos
Right next door is an island called Antiparos.
Antiparos is a tiny little island that has shops, beaches, and restaurants.
There are boats that depart from Parikia and will take you to the island in under 20 minutes. Antiparos makes a perfect day trip.
10. Lefkes
Once the capital of the island in the middle ages, Lefkes is a small village that is worth a visit. Grab an ice cream from the town center and walk around the picturesque village.
11. Dinner at Little Green Rocket
Little Green Rocket is my favorite restaurant in Paros. Located in Parikia, this waterfront restaurant offers fresh dishes that blend Mediterranean and Asian flavors.
12. Antiparos Caves
If you are looking to spend a full day in Antiparos, visit the Cave of Antiparos. This cave is filled with interesting stalagmite formations.
13. Go to a Beach Club
Beach clubs are popular! I went to Punda beach club and enjoyed cocktails, sunbeds, pools, and the sea.
14. Watch a Sunset
Obviously, you can’t visit a Greek island without capturing a stunning sunset! Some of the best spots to see the sunset are rooftops, beaches, or the Paros Park Lighthouse.
Have an awesome getaway and be sure to save this post for your trip.
