Stroll through Mets to Pangrati
One of the quietest central Athens neighborhoods is an alluring mix of townhouses in pastel shades with abundant floral delights, especially pink bougainvillea. It is also home to the historic First Cemetery of Athens where you'll find the elaborate Tomb of the archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann,who excavated ancient Troy.
Highlights
Delightful side streets unfold like a scene from a move, including Nikiforou, Theotoki and Klitomachou. From there you can wander into the bohemian heart of Pangrati, a small oval shaped square with traditional restaurants and hipster cafes.
Stroll through the avenues of the historic First Cemetery and hear the stories behind those that stand out. Afterwards, venture beyond the cemetery gates to grab a Greek coffee and catch a view of the marble Panathenaic Stadium from Arditos Hill.
