Georgia Planning a quick trip to Athens, Georgia or considering relocation to the Classic City of the South?  Here is a list of links to information to help make planning your visit even easier!

The Flagpole's Restaurant Guide is one of the most all inclusive list with great reviews included.  Find all things food here!  Their main page will also lead you to tons of information on art and music events. Explore these before heading to Athens!  Visiting in June?  Don't miss AthFest, our "annual music and arts festival in downtown Athens, Georgia that largely showcases the Athens area musical and artistic community".

The Athens Welcome Center has tons of brochures, including 5 self guided tours.  Alternatively you can join the Historic Tour which is a "90 minute guided tour of Athens that departs daily from the Welcome Center at 2:00. Your tour will begin in the oldest house in Athens and on the tour you will see the world's only double barrel canon and the historic downtown district. "  The Univeristy of Georgia also has a Visitor's Center opened in 1996 "with a charge to provide a warm welcome to visitors, to collect and provide accurate information about the institution and to aid visitors in accomplishing the purpose of their visit to campus".

For all things about the Athens-Clarke County Government , including business licenses, zoning and more visit ACC Online.  ****If you are considering purchasing investment real estate in Athens, Georgia, it is especially important to understand the  "definition of family" in regards to property zoned as single family housing.****

If you want to explore the cultural side of Athens, GA during your visit, don't miss The Georgia Museum of Art, "a repository and educational instrument of the visual arts, the museum exists to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret significant works of art".  The Georgia Museum of Natural History and the galleries at The Lamar Dodd School of Art also make great places to visit.

Nature lovers can explore our greenways and riverside parks, visit The Founders Memorial Garden "a living memorial to the twelve founders of the Ladies' Garden Club of Athens, the first garden club in America, organized in 1891", and explore The State Botanical Gardens of Georgia "A 313 acre preserve set aside by the University of Georgia to foster appreciation, understanding, and stewardship of plants and nature".

Michelle - I'll have to make sure when my sister comes to work on Monday, I show her your post. She bought a vacation home in Winterville at the end of 06'. She's been going up there around 4 or 5 times for the year and I know each and every time, her and her family like to explore. Thanks for the information and I'll be sure to pass it along.
