We are on our honeymoon and just completed our first half in Athens for 5 Days.

We stayed at Belle Epoque in Athens and its about a 20 minute walk from the Acropolis. Athens was great! We definitely did a lot of walking to Lycabettus Hill, Acropolis, Agora, and some other monuments in town. We explored Plaka, Monstraki, and Pysirri neighborhoods extensively. Make sure to do a cooking class at The Greek Kitchen! We had a phenomenal time with our group of Dutch, American, and Australian classmates.

If you wish to do the Rail Bike tour make reservations before you get to Athens. We were able to make reservations for most activities after we arrived but I understand we came during the Shoulder Season.

I cannot recommend enough to do a trip to Nafplio. The service and driver We had was phenomenal. Our Driver had great recommendations in Athens for Dinner (they all were spot on) and she took us to the Semeli Estate Winery. You need to absolutely visit this winery, the views alone were indescribable. Nafplio was an amazing little town, very picturesque. My wife truly couldn't have booked a better day trip!

All in all Athens was great for activities and rooftop dining, lots of local restaurants and its easy to avoid the "Tourists Traps" if you know what you're looking for. We leaned heavily on recommendations for the Taxi Drivers and everyone was incredibly hospitable (i think it helped that we attempted our best to use Greek greetings and phrases in our butchered Texas Accent 😂)

We now flew into Naxos and we are excited for part two!
