You can even take selfies there. And then there's this fantastic place called Plaka with, like, yummy gyros and souvlaki. You gotta try it! The old town is full of those white buildings with blue roofs, making it a rad spot for pics. Plus, Athens has tons of street art and, like, a nice nightlife. Don't forget to explore the ancient ruins at the Agora and, like, soak up all that history. Go shopping! Athens is like a giant shopping mall.
