Where is the best place to stay in Athens?

Best place in greece?

  • i'm applying for a summer program in greece for 6 weeks... where should i stay? i'm contemplating between a city or somewhere rural... i'm leaning more towards the city because i like running water, but i'm not really sure since i've never been there and i'm not high maintence at all. what's the best place to stay for 6 wks? i'm looking for somewhere that has a lot of culture, theaters, etc. and activities going on so i won't be too much of a pain for my host family..... i'm mainly trying to absorb the greek culture + lifestyle in those 6 wks . i've looked at a lot of pictures and i think santorini is so beautiful...my interview is in a few days and i've yet to decide!! what is santorini, athens or other places like?? what do people do for entertainment (other than clubbing) at different cities, etc. what's island life like? does anyone have any suggestions??? btw, the 6 wks is from last week of june to first week of august. will the multitude of tourists ruin my experience?

  • Answer:

    I would suggest Thessaloniki. If you are into Greek culture and don't want to stay in Athens, this is the place for you. There are theaters, museums, a nice waterfront, churches and monasteries, ancient and byzantine sites........... it's all there. The Chalkidiki peninsula with all its beautiful beaches is very near. Here is a site for u to study to find out more about Thessaloniki. http://www.saloniki.org/

I would suggest you apply for Preveza http://www.preveza.gr It's a town - with a huge amount of young people and during the summer months there's something going on every day - traditional dancing - rock concerts - international choirs ...local festivals ...art exhibitions .. and most of these are free (apart from concerts). The area of Epirus is very beautiful and there's plenty of places to go and see - also there's local transport to the city of Ioannina and from there to the mountain villages (not well known - apart from Greek tourists) http://www.greeka.com/epirus/zagoria/zagoria.htm From Preveza - there's Parga ..... Arta (and surrounding villages) Lefkada .. from Lefkada, Kefalonia From Parga Anti Paxos and Paxos .... past Parga - Igoumentisa and from there Corfu (and Italy if needed) There are buses to Athens 3 times daily as well. I believe Epirus (Ipirus) is probably the most 'Greek' place (apart from Crete) which contains its 'Greekness, history and traditions! In Preveza the tourists are mainly Greek. I think you'll find Greeks will be offended if you imply the country does not have 'running water' .....this is EVERYWHERE and believe it or not so is Electricity!! - I think it would be good to read up on Greece (modern day Greece)

Athina for the city..for the rural well u have many many choices, when there u will find out

Definiteley go to Crete. The reasons for this is because crete is very warm, beautiful, and traditional. If u go to Crete there are many activities to do. U can go to the beach and swim or canoe (canoeing depends on where u go) I have heard of great museums in Heraklion. U will learn much about the mythology and history. There is running water everywhere even in the poor yet beautiful villages. Trust me u wont regret it if u go.
