Athens, the capital of Greece, is a city steeped in history and legend. It is known as the birthplace of Western civilisation, full of ancient ruins, beautiful hills, and lively neighbourhoods.

Start your visit at the Acropolis, a famous hilltop site that includes the incredible Parthenon temple. Walking around here, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time. Don’t forget to visit the nearby Acropolis Museum, which houses fascinating artefacts from the site.

Explore the historic heart of Athens in the Plaka district, where narrow streets, colourful houses, and local shops create a charming atmosphere. It’s a great place to try Greek food and enjoy a coffee or ouzo.

Visit the Ancient Agora, once the centre of Athenian life, where you can see temples, markets, and a well-preserved Hephaestus Temple.

For a panoramic view of the city, climb Mount Lycabettus or visit the Areopagus Hill. Both spots give you a wonderful perspective over Athens and the Acropolis.

Athens is also a modern city with a vibrant nightlife, theatres, and music venues. You’ll find plenty of restaurants serving delicious Greek dishes like moussaka, souvlaki, and fresh seafood.

The warm Mediterranean climate means Athens is great to visit any time of year, with plenty of sunshine and outdoor activities.
