Review & FAQ:

Home to the historic University of Georgia, the town of Athens, GA boasts a beautiful Victorian-era historic district filled with antebellum buildings, an incredible assortment of locally owned cafes and restaurants, and a healthy dose of southern-style charm that makes visitors want to extend their stay.

The city also has a lively arts and music scene that has given birth to the likes of R.E.M. and the B-52s, so if you're here in the evening, do your best to catch a performance at the Georgia Theater, the 40 Watt Club, or one of the other highly-acclaimed venues in town.
