Book Reviews of StyleCity Athens
Book Review: Great restaurant guide
Summary: 5 Stars
When we planned to go to Athens I found two usual guide books while my wife got StyleCity Athens. Honestly speaking I was a little skeptical about this "guide book" which at the surface seemed more about fashion than Athens. But I got wiser - much wiser. My books have taken us exclusively to overful streets, over rated sights, and tourist trap restaurants. StyleCity Athens on the other hand has lead us to amazing street cuicine, small local cafes, and enthusiastic upstart local restaurants. Of the latter, we just came back from "Prosopa" 84 Konstantinoupoleos which is probably one of the best and definitely the most generous restaurant that I have ever been to.
Buy this book if you want to experience the real Athens, but do not have a friend here to show you around.
