ATHENS HOTELS & ACCOMMODATION - Page 4
Athens is big, brash and frenetic, but has a wonderful charm all of its own. All too often tourists' perceptions are clouded by the fact that they overnight in Athens on their way to or from the Greek islands, and so the extent of their Athens experience amounts to a quick view and maybe the Acropolis in scorching summer heat if they're lucky. Athens, however, has a lot more to offer....

THE GREAT OUTDOORS IN ATHENS:
For such an unnatural setting as Athens, there is lots of open space and wildlife in the area around the Acropolis and most of it is free and full of ancient ruins. Next to Kouklis Ouzerie on Tripodon Street there is an entrance to a small park. Walk through it and you are on the slope of the Acropolis looking up at the massive walls.
If you walk up through the grove of trees there is an opening in the fence. If you walk to your left you will find yourself in the ancient theater of Dionysious.
On a moonlit night take a bottle of wine or a couple beers and relive it's ancient past. You can wander around the ruins and chances are nobody will care. Don't worry about the barking dogs. They are generally friendly and starved for attention.
As I mentioned before there is the big rock below the entrance to the Acropolis, just as good a view in the day as it was at night. Below that is the Agora and only part of it requires an entrance fee.
If you walk from the entrance to the Acropolis down the hill in the other direction and across the street you can climb the hill of Philipapou and spend hours wandering around the forests. To walk from there all the way to the Kings Gardens you need cross only three main streets, by cutting through the Plaka, walking up Kydatheneon street and crossing Fileninon and Amalias. The next time someone tells you that Athens is nothing but a concrete jungle you can give them a good argument.

THE OLIVE SHOP OF SABBAS PSYCHOGIOS, ATHENS:
Greece is famous for it's olives and you may want to try a number of varieties on your holiday to Greece. Kalamata olives from the Peleponnese are probably the most famous. The Olive Shop of Sabbas Psychogios is located in the section of the Agora meat market closest to Omonia square. Be sure to pay them a visit.
The shop specializes in olives from all over Greece. Olives are known by the name of the region they come from. Each region has a different way of making their olives.

THE NATIONAL GARDENS:
Behind the tomb of the unknown soldier on Amalias street, at the top of constitution square is what my brother says is "Athens greatest treasure". The Kings Gardens, or the National Gardens is like a tropical paradise right in the middle of the concrete jungle of Athens. You can spend hours wandering around. There are two duck ponds and a duck population that has gotten completely out of control. We always save our bread from lunch to bring here, or you can buy doughnuts (koulouria) from a little man near the large pond.
There is also a small zoo featuring wolves from Bulgaria, strange antelope like creatures, monkeys, peacocks, hawks, buzzards, a lion, parakeets, canaries and goats, all sharing their cages with ducks. You can walk along the paths admiring the exotic fauna and the ducks.
There is even a small cafe near the Irodou Atikou street called O Kypos where you can get a nice frappe, an ouzo and mezedes, and enjoy the afternoon while you feed your leftovers to the ducks who come to your table begging for food. There is also a playground for kids!
If you walk out to Irodou Atikou Street on your left is the camp for the evzones, who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and what was once the Palace across the street.
It's now the home of the Prime Minister, though they say he prefers his apartment. If you walk downhill you will pass Zappion on the right where in the summer you can see puppet theater (Karagiosis) and other forms of entertainment at the large outdoor cafe. This area is a popular place for Athenians to stroll and sit when the weather is nice.
