Athens: The Monocle Travel Guide Series

Think of Athens and the first things that spring to mind are ancient ruins and camera-toting crowds. But there’s much more to the Greek capital than temples and tourists. Strap up your sandals and allow us to introduce you to this chaotic but ever-so-charismatic city.

These are books that go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure you get the best out of a city—no matter how short your stay. Designed to be compact and collectable, they are also discerning; Monocle’s team will tell you where’s best for everything from some tasty fast food to where to get the local experience.
