Athens
Athens, considered by some as the true gateway to the Greek isles, is already gaining fame among the hipster crowd thanks to the growing number of rooftop bars, and coffee shops that currently contrast the ancient monuments. Check out Couleur Locale, a rooftop near Monastiraki. Enjoy incredible views of the Acropolis. The place offers noteworthy cocktails too.
Naples
It’s cheaper to stay here than in some place like Positano. Furthermore, the city contrasts the old and the new wonderfully with its burgeoning contemporary art scene and its proximity to Pompeii and traditional food scene on the Amalfi Coast. Stop in at the famous L’Antica Pizzeria da Michele and enjoy real Naples pizza, too.
