Spotting signs is free fun

If there is one form of advertising that everyone understands it is the sign. Athens is full of funny, quirky, lovable or even sometimes questionable signs.

Spotting them is free fun for everyone. How about some of these for starters?

After a hard day or especially a night out in Athens wouldn´t you want to have one of these?

Lack of available parking spots makes people to do crazy parking moves in Athens...

and you can always win this sign glued on your windshield.

But don´t you worry a thing. You can always gather your strength and continue shopping and pampering yourself in thousands of great little shops of Athens.

Have a fun day out there! :D

Bustling Athens, the capital of Greece, is everything from majestic past to quirky present. From lively little backstreets to giant archeological park downtown it offers you very unique and surprising experiences. You can find yourself from a little music filled tavern, climbing up to Parthenon, shopping in a conveniently big mall or tanning yourself on the beach. Athens has it all.

One of the thousands of relaxed little taverns
in Athens is inviting you to have fun, relax and
having a taste of famous and amazing Greek
cuisine. Copyright 2011 Jan

This city is most liveliest after dark. It transforms to a giant living room of fun-loving Athenians. It is hip and traditional, folksy and sophisticated, fun and tiring with good food and strong drinks forming an intoxicating effect of Mediterranean magic.

You will fall head over heels to Athens or pack your bags and never look back. It is a giant breathing and vibrantly growing concrete jungle with heart hidden in ancient hospitality. Athens is one of the unforgettable experiences of a lifetime.
