3 The Agora-Athens Central Market
Love shopping? Then this is the place you have to be. Adore fresh produce? Better still. Show up early in the morning and you will find a better selection of meat, seafood, fruits and vegetables than you will find anywhere else. The prices are reasonable, and the smell and look of the produce should entice you to get a few bags of shopping.
4 Mount Lycabettus
Yes, it's a lot of effort to climb to the top of a mountain, but the view is one guaranteed to take your breath away. Once on top, the stunning view provides an ideal photographing opportunity, and the quaint café and amphitheatre allows a place to relax and enjoy the views. Think the trip is over once you get to the top? Travelling back down is not as difficult as up, but still presents a challenge in the summer months.
5 The Plaka
The Plaka is an ancient neighbourhood sitting below the Acropolis, and has an authentic feel populated with jewellery shops, cafés and tourist shops. From the cute tourist shops to the constant entertainment around you, you will be sure to have a great time. There are enough attractions in this one area to make a top 5 list of its own.
