FAQ for first-time visitors to Athens

• Try the koulouri, a small round piece of bread usually with sesame and a Greek coffee and you become instantly a Greek local!
• If you are staying for more than a day in Athens buy the 30 euro combination ticket, valid for all the archaeological sites for 5 days
• If you are not squeamish about blood or fish smell visit the famous Varvakios Market, on Athinas Street, a 10-minute walk from Monastiraki Square an indoor and outdoor food market. The vendors sell fresh meat, fish, fruit, spices, and products from around the country
• If you have the time, besides the stunning Acropolis Museum, I highly recommend the National Archaeological Museum, the biggest Museum in Greece with ancient artifacts from all over the country
• Other significant Museums are the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (1 metro station far from Acropolis, at Fix Station), Numismatic museum and Goulandris Museum, 5 minutes far from Panathenaic Stadium 
• Across from the northern Acropolis exit, stands the Areopagus or Mars Hill where Apostle Paul preached
• From your hotel in Plaka, everything is within walking distance. Alternatively, use the Metro to go around. Be careful in the metro for pickpocketing!
