Question Best Areas to Stay in Athens for 3 Days?

My wife and I (in our mid 70’s) are spending 3 days in Athens after debarking from a cruise. We're trying to figure out the best area to stay that will be convenient for sightseeing and dining. Any suggestions on neighborhoods that are safe and easy to navigate? We’d love to explore historical sites but also want to relax a bit. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations!

For a memorable 3-day stay, I recommend the Plaka neighborhood. It's charming and close to major historical sites like the Acropolis, making it easy to explore on foot. Plus, you'll find plenty of local tavernas for dining. Another great option is Syntagma Square, where you can enjoy a bit of luxury and have access to parks for relaxation. Have you thought about how much time you’d like to spend at each site? That could help narrow down your choice!
