I’m planning my autumn trip to Athens and I bought this travel guide because it’s written by native Athenians. I found it very helpful not only because it has maps of central Athens and the Acropolis but mostly because it pays much attention to local’s favourite hot spots, sightseeing and restaurants.
This pocket guide is full of tips about where to go, how to go and what to see whatever your interests. It includes six detailed itineraries for walking tours to all archaeological sites, central Athens, Piraeus, the coastline plus an excursion to Cape Sounion. It’s full of historical facts and I was pleased to discover it includes a very informative chapter about the Acropolis and the Parthenon.
It also includes detailed information about transportation, lists with recommended restaurants, hotels and museums, and some useful phrases in Greek. As for the maps, they are also posted on their website and they’re downloadable. In overall I believe ‘City Break In Athens’ is value for money.
