Athens is definitely a nice place to visit. Greek hospitality, ancient history and many other things - which are widely known to the world - can be very good reasons to visit the place. There are things you should consider before planning a trip to Greece. It is a fact that there is a bit of disorganization in the capital due to the country's government, although this is not something that you should worry about since you are not going to live there for the rest of your life. The only thing you need to worry about is the means of transport you will use. Athens is big and chaotic, so the best thing to do is to rent a car or use a private transfer company.
Once you land in the country you will need a way to get to the city center and find your hotel. There are several options, such as the metro, bus or taxi. The fastest way is a taxi from Athens airport. Due to the heavy traffic, the best thing to do is to book your transfer online in advance. This way you will save valuable time to rest and explore the city. Be aware of using public transport, as it is always crowded and crime is on the rise. Renting a car is a workable solution, however as mentioned there is a lot of traffic and as a result it is difficult to find parking. Prefer a private transport company that will take care of you and make your journey an easy process.
We have to admit, Athens is beautiful. Like any other place it has its good and bad side, it's up to you which side you want to see. You can find everything in Athens and there are plenty of options to have fun, day and night. The city center is a beautiful place to spend the night, especially Plaka - Anafiotika, the most picturesque neighbourhood in Athens, suitable for a short walk, a coffee or even a night out.
Although short, I hope you found the above article helpful. Don't forget to book your transfer before your trip to make it easier for you. You can visit the websites I have provided above for more information that will be important to you. Till the next time!
