I stayed in a hotel in that area - quite a few junkies hanging around but they were so 'out of it', they didn't even notice me or anyone else passing by so I didn't feel in any danger from them. Having said that, I still walked briskly past them on my way back to the hotel at night.
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

Yeah a few dodgy streets around there but tbh didn't have a problem, was blind drunk one night as well. If you've your wits about ya it's fine, metro is like 5 minutes away as well, just if you were to walk down to where the nice bars are or where the Irish were last time you'll have to probably talk down some of these streets

Ah no only messing there was a lot of conversation on here about that area being dodgy before the last game.

Yes there was lots of drug use and junkies in Athens, but would say many parts of inner city Dublin are more intimidating.

Athens was a fantastic place imo. Lots to see, decent booze, great food and great weather. Giving it serious consideration on a return visit
