THE VACATION<br />

6. THE PRICE<br />
Greece’s financial crisis has kept the prices of food, drink and<br />
alcohol extremely competitive, meaning you’ll be pleasantly<br />
surprised when the bill comes. Local wines are very cheap and<br />
equally as delicious as their imported counterparts.<br />
7. THE SUNSHINE<br />
Athens is drenched in sun for the majority of the year, and<br />
even if you travel in January you can expect highs of 10<br />
degrees. The optimum time to travel is between March and<br />
May, when the skies will be blue and the breeze will be balmy.<br />
Whatever time of year you travel, you’re likely to see skies as<br />
blue as the Greek flag.<br />
8. THE BOUTIQUE HOTELS<br />
Athens is catering to its ever-growing influx of trendy<br />
travellers with a handful of boutique design hotels. The NEW<br />
<strong>Hot</strong>el is as boutique as they come and attracts an artistic<br />
crowd. Conveniently located between Syntagma Square and<br />
the Old Town of Plaka, it’s an ideal city break base.<br />
