Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Athens in one day http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5681
Start early in the morning with a visit to Kolonaki square. Watch the posh (and wannabe posh) people walk by while having a coffee/breakfast in one of the numerous - though slightly overpriced- cafes.

Then again, if you'd prefer something more down to earth, rather bohemian, choose to start your day by visiting Exarheia, a neighbourhood right next to Kolonaki. Have a stroll round the nearby streets and then head towards Panepistimiou Avenue, for a short stop at the Hellenic Academy and the other nearby buildings of architectural interest.

From Panepistimiou Avenue, head towards Syntagma, to see the Greek parliament, and then keep walking down Ermou Street until you reach Monastiraki. Pass Monastiraki Square and then head towards Plaka, for a light lunch/drink in one of the kafeneia/tavernas (kafeneio Dioskuroi is highly recommended).

Take a deep breath and then start walking up the hill, for a visit to the Acropolis. On the way back, walk round Plaka for a bit longer, or visit other very interesting areas, which are all a short distance away, such as Thission, Psiri, Athens Central Market or Gazi.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5681 Nipiagogeio http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5602 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5602 Goodys http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5577 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5577 Pair of Greek sandals http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4802 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4802 Ouzo Plomariou http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4795 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4795 Soul http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4786 Inoteca http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4785 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4785 Hymettos mountain http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5653 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5653 Open-air cinema http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4800 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4800 Miaouli street, Psiri http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4794 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4794
