No trip to Athens is complete without visiting the Acropolis. Make sure to beat the crowds by starting your morning exploring the Parthenon and Ancient Theatre.
Acropolis of Athens
Mount Lycabettus may not be as well-known, but it offers a really great view! It's not usually crowded at all, as long as you go in the morning. On the way there, you get to walk through the cute neighborhood of Kolonaki.
You can either hike to the top or take a cable car. I recommend taking the cable car up and then walking down. On the way down, you'll run into one of my favorite restaurants/cafes, Prasini Tenta!

Kosta's Souvlaki

Prasini Tenta
Brunello is a small little place located in the Kolonaki neighborhood. They have really great Italian food! Their pasta was super fresh and delicious.

Zambri is located a little ways from Athens, so if you ever find yourself in Kifissia (which you definitely should for the shopping), this is the cutest brunch place to visit! The inside is super cute, and the food was amazing. I took all 4 pictures ...
