The neighborhoods are walkable. The food is cheap and delicious. The locals are warm (sometimes aggressively so — you will be waved into restaurants). Public transport is reliable. And the city is safe enough that you can wander at midnight without thinking twice.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve spent time in Athens alone and with company, and honestly? Some of my best moments there were solo. Sitting on the Areopagus hill at sunset with a souvlaki in one hand, watching the Parthenon turn gold, surrounded by strangers all doing the same thing — that&rsquo;s a shared experience you don&rsquo;t need a travel partner to enjoy.</p>
