The best travel tips for Athens: explore the vibrant city centre
Athens combines ancient history with vibrant city life. Have some delectable Greek dishes such as gyros, moussaka (a casserole dish), and souvlaki (meat on a skewer). And if you really want to enjoy yourself like a local, order ouzo, but be careful, this drink is very strong!
When visiting Athens, it is useful to know a few local customs. Greeks often greet each other warmly with a hug or a kiss on both cheeks. And if you know a few words of Greek, such as kalimera (good morning) and efcharisto (thank you), you are sure to make a good impression.
