Pros: good food, history, pedestrian friendly Cons: Have you ever been to Georgia in August?
My 17 year-old-son and I just spent an enjoyable weekend in Athens, Georgia. We ate some good food, saw some interesting sites, and managed not to get arrested. A combination of those factors usually means an enjoyable time was had by all and this was...
Pros: We saw the highlights of Athens, without having to walk a lot. Cons: We didn't like the long bus ride picking up people before the tour actually started.
We opted to be picked up by the tour bus at our hotel Titania to start the tour of Athens, only to find out we could have walked about four blocks to where the tour actually started and slept another hour. It took us an hour and fifteen minutes of ...
ATHENS, Ga. -- Mountain views and cold brews. Culture of all kinds and learning for the mind.

Pros: Great trails, rose garden, beautiful setting Cons: Bugs, heat on sunny days (hike through the woods for shade)
The Botanical Gardens of Georgia are located on Milledge Avenue just outside of Athens. The Gardens are huge, filled with many beautifully landscaped gardens and walking trails. A river runs through the wooded areas adjacent to the conservatory....
Pros: Scenic, modest cost, interesting history Cons: much driving on slow roads
On a recent traipse through North Georgia my wife and I discovered two delightful spots that would reward anyone with a couple of days to visit: Athens and Dahlonega.
Athens, of course, is home to the University of Georgia, which highly...
Pros: pretty city, plenty of good restaurants and stores Cons: game days, perpetually drunk students
I lived in Athens for a short time when I was attending the University of Georgia. The city itself isn't too bad, if you like to spend most of your time at bars. The downtown area is nice to look at (until the bongo players and other assorted weirdos...
Pros: friendly environment Cons: Living here is not that cheap
Good morning, would-be Athenians.
Athens, Georgia, home of UGA and many bars may be your cup of tea for visits, however living here IS a different story. If you have an idea for a new business you should do well (while the students are here)...
Pros: It's a free country Cons: clay, boring, not a family place
My MIL moved to Athens soon after we came back to the east coast from California. What a difference. Athens is clay, clay, clay. We visited there several times and even moved there for 6 months but I couldn't wait to get back to South Carolina! My...
My best friend lives in the Athens area. So, when my boyfriend and I decided to take a road trip, this was our natural destination. (Not only would we have free board, but, we had 2 built in tour guides). This was my second trip there, and I fell even...
Pros: The best vegetarian restaurant I've ever tried. Cons: Parking can be tight.
Review Topic: Restaurants
Review Topic: Whether you are a vegetarian or someone just looking for a healthy meal, you'll want to give a restaurant located a couple of blocks from downtown Athens Georgia a try.
Pros: Great shopping and great food. Home of the 'Dawgs Cons: Traffic gridlock on home football game days
Athens offers many of the things you'd expect to find in a large city, but has less traffic and is easier to get around in (UNLESS you come on a day when the 'Dawgs are playing a home football game). Downtown Athens is full of bars, clubs, restaurants,...
