Where is the Best Location for Tourists to Stay in Athens?
Athens is a large city. If you are in a rush and have only allocated an overnight stay in the city, stay in Plaka or Syntagma as these are centrally located and are a short walk from the Acropolis. Another central area is Psyri, which is one of the best places to visit for the nightlife as it has many clubs and bars. Koukaki, on the other hand, is a good choice to experience local life; it’s very serene and does not have a touristic atmosphere.
