Athens is the ultimate travel destination, which combines everything that the heart of each traveler’s desires. A city break in Athens during daytime offers you unforgettable memories to treasure by visiting ancient sights and landmarks.

Greek cuisine, rich in authentic flavors and aromas represents an age-old cultural unity

Dozens of scientific studies have shown the positive effect of a balanced Greek diet on a person’s health, beauty and longevity.

Despite what you may believe about Greek cuisine, it is more than just “moussaka”, “souvlaki” and the famous Greek Salad “choriatiki”.

Athens is an outdoors city, whatever the season of your visit. How could you top watching an opera, concert or play under the starlit Athenian sky? By doing it in a venue like the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, below the Acropolis, that’s how. Or settling back to a classic in one of the historic outdoor summer cinemas, some operating for more than a century. This city that never sleeps offers a great variety of night life and options for night activities.

And in a city made to be walked (or run, if you’re here for the Athens Marathon in November), you’ll find unexpected pockets of greenery in and around Athens. The National Garden and Zappeion Hall deservedly stand out (perfect for a morning or afternoon run or stroll), but there is other greenery to explore. And for an amazing view of the city, Lycabettus and Philopappou hills offer an easy climb and incredible vantage points. A walk in Plaka is also a must to see area.

Athens is the shopper’s paradise. Handmade sandals, designer boutiques, and one-of-a-kind crafts. In Athens, you can shop till you drop. From farmers markets to shopping malls and cool shops hidden in arcades, here’s where to go for all your gifts and souvenirs.

Ancient and modern at the same time, the city is a modern Metropolis and the capital of Greece preserving though the grace of goddess Athens, lingering all around.
