What to do and see in Psirri / Gazi, Attica: The Best Spas & Wellness
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

I don't think I would book a traditional hammam here. As other reviewers have noted, the experience would be like sitting in a steam room, essentially. But the "Ali Mama" Hammam treatment was superb. This was my second time and it was even better than the first. Chris was truly a magician with his hands. I feel completely rejuvenated and the body kinks are all out!

Hands down THE BEST massage I’ve EVER had. Amazing experience from start to finish. Attention to detail was incredible; from the welcome drink to the Turkish delight. My masseuse was fantastic, the perfect amount of pressure resulting in a perfect massage. Thank you!
