Sample From the Itinerary

This is a sample of the itinerary. The actual itinerary includes additional pictures and maps.

=================================

Gazi area

Gazi (gas in Greek) took its name from the old gas station used to provide electricity to the city 60 years ago. Now the factory is a museum of modern art and concert hall. The area is unique and vibrant. To some this may feel like a loud chaotic experience. After 9:00 pm the hundreds of bars and clubs of the area are packed with thousands of young people. Since opening Kerameikos station 5 years ago, the area has been the place to be and the dodgy feeling of the past has been replaced by the fastest developing area of Athens city.

Take the metro and stop at Kerameikos metro station (using the 24 hour 4 euro ticket you bought in the morning). Exit at Konstantinoupoleos street and turn right at Konstantinoupoleos. At number 68, you’ll find Asty 68 restaurant.

Local’s Tip: Asty 68 serves organic food from small organic farms. Order the local sausages and enjoy the local beer served in plastic bottle. It also has a very good platter of Greek cheeses. This is a good opportunity to taste a selection of different local cheeses, most of them low fat and tasteful.

After dinner head back to Kerameikos station and walk on the vertical street of Konstantinoupoleos called Voutadon (see the map above of Kerameikos metro station). It is a very loud street with endless bars and clubs. At the corner, Voutadon and Iakhou Street is Gazarte, a multi entertainment project with a gallery, cinema, bar restaurant and a club. Go up to the terrace (tarazza) and enjoy your drinks looking at the Gazi area below and the modern architecture structure of Gazi building in front of you.
Check out their informative website to look for events and happenings during the dates you are going to be in Athens.  (pictures, links and maps are providing in the itinerary)
