Pyrgi

A pretty town whose houses are decorated with carved and painted patterns called graffito.

Reviewed By Greekxwoman

The village of Pyrgi is a very unique village. The residents decorate their buildings is dark grey and while geometric designs which are quite interesting and time consuming to create. I have never encountered a place like this anywhere else in Greece. Pyrgi is very quaint, with typical Greek village scenery and an opportunity to take some neat pictures. The people are friendly and there are several restaurants where you can eat or get a drink. If you are touring Chios island it is well worth your time to drive to Pyrgi.

Kastro

This 13th century castle houses a 16th century Catholic Cathedral, the Archaeological Museum and the Venetian Museum.

Reviewed By duhoz - Beroun, Czech Republic

I fall in love with this charming part of the city. Day or night I enjoyed seamlessly roaming the narrow streets full of boutiques, taverns, galleries and little houses where still the locals live, not just seized by tourists. From some parts there as beautiful views of the city. Unfortunately some buildings such as the Tower or museum which are currently under the reconstruction.

Plaka

Historic neighborhood located at the base of the hill topped by the Acropolis.

Reviewed By megan-woodruff - Kyiv (Kiev), Ukraine

This area of town came highly recommended from friends that have visited Athens multiple times. It is full of delicious restaurants, great shopping (touristy stuff and clothes/shoes), and has a very young and hipster-ish vibe. There is plenty to do and see, but it gets pretty crowded and busy, so steer clear if that isn't your scene.

Little Venice

Reviewed By NicolasC973 - Limassol City, Cyprus

A must do while in Mykonos! Sunset time is the best time to visit Little Venice, preferably latest by 7.30pm to have an hour to watch the full sunset while enjoying a refreshing cocktail at one of the cafes situated on the shore of this location. Best enjoyed in a romantic mood with your loved one, or a flirt, easily found in Mykonos ;))

Old Town

Reviewed By MrandMrsRo - Chester, United Kingdom

Lovely scenic alleyways. Lots of shops but didn't feel tacky touristy. We found an excellent traditional wood fired bakery in the Old Market area - best bread we had on the island and freshly baked all day long so piping hot when bought - open all day and till 9pm at night too. Worth going right up to the castle area and onto the terrace (through a cafe) to get a wonderful panoramic view of the island.

Anafiotika

Reviewed By MargieD300 - York, United States

I had read about this group of island-like houses and it was a highlight for me to not only find it but explore this small area of only about 45 homes. Part of the Plaka neighborhood set at the "back" side of the Acropolis, it is picturesque! Built in the 18th century by workers from the island of Anafi, there are small, narrow walkways, steep steps, and worth the climb to the top for a beautiful view of Lycabettus Hill, one of the highest points in Athens!

Reviewed By andy5552017 - Swansea, United Kingdom

Visited in the day to explore after hiring a scooter really beautiful peaceful place we were the only 2 people there at 1600hrs . Except for the goats who wonder around the narrow paths. Returned on the 2300hrs bus for an Ouzo with the Ghost Town gently lite and music playing watching the Moon. Brilliant a Must in Tilos
