Thread: Athens trip report

We need more trip reports. Thanks for the post.

As for Athens, do you think it would be a good place to take a teen & a pre-teen (my daughters) for spring break? I take them somewhere, just the 3 of us, each spring break. Our biggest drivers are seats up front and $70 or less hotels. After that I'm looking for safe public transport and something educational. I'm thinking ATH has history in spades.

The metro, bus, and tram systems are very clean and safe.
The food is awesome!!!

I rarely like to repeat destinations because there are so many places I still want to visit, but we will return to Athens within the next year.

Good stuff to know, thanks. The exchange rate is a killer these days, so finding reasonably priced hotels can be tricky. We are looking for something different next year and I think ATH could be it.

Mrs767er: Maybe spring break next year. I can live with flying in the back, but who wouldn't want to be up front?
