It's a Greek word originally, and it's exactly what you'll find in Greece's capital of Athens. <p> <p>Chaotic driving, chaotic shopping, chaotic, hot, throbbing nightlife. It's good chaos - especially if you need a break from the boring predictability of an office - and one of the most fun and alive places to visit in southern Europe.<p> The hotel scene is as chaotic as the rest of the city.
