    Lycabetus hill is a great place to spend a few hours to watch the sunset over Athens. We took the funicular up because of time but probably fairly easy if you are fit. Note that even just walking to the bottom of the hill where the streets and houses and restaurants are takes some effort so you need to be fairly fit.

    The view and sunset over Athens were amazing.

    Tip - people will crowd round the top point to try to get the best view and take photos, but if you just go down the path for a few metres you will be slightly lower but the view is still great and nowhere near as many people.

    There is also a bar up there for a drink and a (fairly posh) restaurant for a meal.

    The funicular is quite expensive and it is entirely underground so not worth it for the view, just as an easy means to get up there. We would recommend taking the funicular up and then walking back down to save the money.

    We walked down after the sunset and a few drinks and it was easy, It takes about 15 mins, although a torch or phone is useful as the lighting is sparse in some places.

    Not so much a museum as a series of interactive illusions. Child friendly but it also means that you will have lots of children around you... being children!
    Staff on hand were great and helped explain what to do and take fun pictures. Not extensive time wise and you are time limited anyway but it's just about right and we all enjoyed it.

    Alexis was fantastic! I arrived to Athens several hours before the rest of my friends, but wanted to still take advantage of my time in Greece. Alexis picked me up at the airport, took me to drop my bags at my air bnb and then took me to the city center. He provided me with an itinerary and suggestions of things to do for several hours while in the city alone. He then returned to pick me up and take me back to my air bnb once my friends had arrived. He was on time, car was very nice and clean, and he even stopped to grab me a frappe upon my arrival! He also pointed out many points of interest along our drive and shared a lot of Greek history with me. I also had him take me back to the airport at the end of the week. Again he was prompt, on time, and just a pleasure to ride with. I highly recommend Alexis and any of his services!! 5 stars!!!

    It was a lot of fun, some good things to break. I do wish the rooms were a bit more empty like the pictures on the Facebook page. Maybe they get emptied from time to time but it was a bit cramped and there was a lot of broken glass on the floor so if u slipped it would be dangerous. The pictures showed people with overalls but they just give gloves and a face guard.

    We played Thomas Crown room. Room was really interesting and it had some cool unique puzzles. Everything had translation in English.
    I would especially praise our host Nefeli for being a great gamemaster and making already good room amazing.
    Would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens.

    After reading rave reviews the three of us decided to attempt to do the mansion escape room. What an absolutely fabulous three hours. So many puzzles, unraveling mysteries and codes that kept us totally mesmerized for three hours running to work out the mystery in time. We have been to many escape rooms and this one proves to be one of the most challenging and entertaining game that we have played. I would fully recommend this to anyone that wants a unique challenging fun time. You won’t find these games anywhere else . We are off to do the other one in a few days . If on holidays try this game as it provides such a unique experience in Athens

    Leo was great if you need any type of transport when you are in the Athens Greece area please get in touch with Leo. My wife and I took a cruise out of Athens Greece. Leo was our only transport from the airport to hotel, from the hotel to the Ship, from the Ship to another hotel, from the hotel back to the airport. He showed us thing we would have never seen it we had used anyone else.

    My wife and I have had enough dealings with tour operators around the world to know when we are getting value for our money, or not. The services Mónica and her husband provide are worth every penny, and as people, even more! Our time in Corinth and other spots was well-paced, informative and with zero pressure. We will surely recommend their transport and tour services to our friends and family. Thank you both so much for being so great at what you do!

    Lohan's restaurant was a cool vibe. Its located near Alimos, Athen on the Athenian Riviera. We had drinks and some apps in August 2019 with the family. Kid friendly and you can also catch sum sun on their beach front. I saw some windsurfing, but didn't try it out. The drinks and food are modestly priced for the area.

    I recently visited Sherlocked Homes in Athens for an escape room experience, and it was fantastic! 🎉 The puzzles were challenging and cleverly designed, keeping us engaged the whole time. The atmosphere was immersive, and the attention to detail was impressive. The staff was friendly and helpful, adding to the overall fun. It’s a perfect activity for friends or family! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a thrilling adventure in Athens! 🔍

    I loved my experience at Street workout Athens. We were on a Christmas break for 10 days so I bought the weeks pass. I loved the outdoor space and the energy of the surroundings at night. It is situated on a sports complex and with the floodlights, music and excellent workout sessions it was one of my favourite memories of the holiday. I really enjoyed the workouts by Dean and Aggeliki they were so lovely and friendly. They gave me excellent advice on how to complete certain exercises and were inclusive to me as a traveller and made me feel like a regular. I have returned home with new inspiration to work hard, get strong and also return to Athens soon. Thanks so much Street workout gang. See you again I hope
