The cab stories are true. My first time in Athens I took a cab from the airport to my hotel on business. The cabby spoke good english and said it was a flat rate, something like $30 Euro. Seemed fair.
After a day of meetings, I went back to the airport and asked about a flat rate. The cabbie knew no english so he just used his meter. It came out to something like $7 Euro. I've been back since for personal and it's a decent city. I enjoyed Turkey more.
Plako was a cool area. Great food and entertainment. It's a big spreadout city so I'd stick with the tourist areas as there are some shady places.
