10 Things to do in Psiri That You Shouldn't Miss

March 7, 2022 Joeann Galban

Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

Great Escape Rooms

Great Escape is the biggest real life escape room game in Athens. Located at the heart of the city, Great Escape Rooms expand ones imagination while exercising perceptual skills, and promotes collaboration processes. The team is consisted of 2 to 8 members, which are getting "locked" in a theme room. Their goal is to complete their mission within the given timeframe, by overcoming obstacles and solving puzzles, activating not only the mind, but all five senses as well.

My boyfriend and I were quite inexperienced with escape rooms, having done only one or two before. Based on the difficulty levels, we chose the Circus room. The clues were not too easy, and it required some skill as well. When we became stuck, the talented game master gave helpful clues to move us along in the right pace. It was such a great experience that we decided to return the following day, to play the Guantanamo room! We liked this room even more, with even more varied tasks, and with higher difficulty. We barely made it out! As opposed to some other escape rooms elsewhere, these rooms were set up really nicely and it made the situations we were put in feel more real. This escape rooms here are great fun for the price. Would definitely recommend going here, even if you are only two people!

I've been to sooo many escape rooms all over Europe but this was by far the best one! We played the The Emperor’s Master Chef is Dead. The game was new so we took a risk by choosing this over so many escape rooms in Athens, and it paid off big time. The game is very entertaining and interactive, much different from any other escape room experience I have tried out. The Chienese ambience is beautiful and the concept of the game where you have to actually produce the emperor's favourite meal surprised us! it was so much fun! No worries - it does not require any cooking skills, but you do have to serve the emperor. The riddles were extremely creative, not too many numbers and padlocks, and even when these do appear they are much more complex and interactive than the usual escape room riddles. Plus they require all your senses to be used! Even for experienced escape room players, this room will be interesting, challenging and above all, entertaining. The guys were extremely nice and polite, the hints were perfectly estimated to be helpful but not too revealing (because in the end you do want to solve the riddles yourself). The location of the escape room is also an advantage, in the very center of Athens. We played in two (even though three is the required minimum, but if you are a good team you won't necessarily need the third one), we managed to escape in time. Little *spoiler* - even if you don't, there's a surprise challenge that could still get you out! In the end, we kind of wished that we weren't able to do it right so that we could just get one more fun challenge.

I used Welcome Pickups for transfers to and from the airport. An excellent service. Friendly, English-speaking drivers who were very helpful. Great value for money. In fact, Welcome Pickups was cheaper than booking a regular taxi and a comfortable car and helpful driver were guaranteed! Would definitely use this company again.
