Athens Hostels - Reviews and Rates

On Sunday we slept in a little bit and got all of our stuff ready to go before we went on our walking tour of Athens, which was put on by our hostel! We got to see many really cool sites in Athens including several theatres from Greek times, the hill next to the Parthenon, the city centre and the market, Parliament, the garden in the middle of t...

The flight to Athens was problem free and on the metro ride into the city we met a really nice couple. The woman gave us info about the city and even wrote down her home, work and husbands cell phone number in case any problems arose. They brought us to a decent hotel where we used their internet to find a place more in our price range. We were ...

Thought Athens deserved its own entry! Really warm weather (ongoing bush fires don't help) but well worth the climb to the top of the Acropolis to see the Pantheon. Awesome. Lyndal's physio is gonna kill her (she ain't meant to climb stairs... please.... that is all there is in Europe.... stairs everywhere!)

hi back in athens after doing the islands which were great as must go back. finally found our hotel and did a lot of walking today i think that i exhausted dave out. anyway did the touristy things today like seeing the acropolis although was closed when we went but was able to see it whilst having dinner near by and it was lit up during the nigh...

Today is history lesson 101. The day is overcast and we hope the rain stays away. We again take to the railway as it is so easy to use and we do not get lost on this, but when we exit the station, this all changes as we have no idea which road we have come out on. Get off at Akropoli station and walk up the hill to the Acropolis entrance. A tour...

Our ship ported in Piraeus today, a small port city outside of Athens. We took an excursion to Athens and the Acropolis. Athens was the place I was most looking forward to going to but I was a little disappointed by it. Maybe I just didn't see enough of it but it was really dirty and just seemed like any other big city. The Acropolis was very co...

Athens 8 September 2005 - Thursday Athens was named after Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, who according to mythology won the city as prize after a duel against Poseidon. We spent the scorching day firstly being driven around the city to get a perspective of the modern Athens, and then headed off to the old olympic stadium, Panathinaikon whe...

Phew! It's been a busy couple of days! I forgot to write about the most interesting walk I ever had the other night.... I decided to go for a walk because I was really bored. On my way into town, I only passed a guy I'd met in Tolo who was studying at the tourist school but had finished and returned home! We walked past each other, shoulder to s...

Found a cleaners today, thank the Lord, so I left the pair of trousers that needed cleaning. Have come across a number of decent-appearing restaurants lately, unfortunately the money needed for them did not appear in my pocket. Still praying for that... Some guy has been saying that his Lord has asked him to destroy me, and has been following me...
