Holidays in Athens

The ancient city of Athens – capital of Greece – is known as the birthplace of modern civilisation, and once the historical capital of Europe and the birthplace of democracy. On Athens holidays, you’ll discover the enthralling history that courses through UNESCO World Heritage Sites dating back thousands of years.

Shrouded in myth and mystery, the ruined ancient world is all around you during holidays to Athens. Rising high above the city is the Acropolis, with its famed Parthenon and temples, where, according to legend, Athena and Poseidon held a contest to see who would possess control of Athens. Poseidon created a saltwater spring by throwing down his trident; Athena created an olive tree.

In recent years, the city has been infused with new life and a vibrant arts hub has sprung up in the shadow of the Acropolis. Filled with galleries, cafés, hip shops and start-ups, Kerameikos-Metaxourgeio is well worth exploring if you get the chance during your holiday to Athens.

The site of Olympia should also be at the top of your list of places to visit. This medieval town has an important role in Greek history and played host to the world’s first ever Olympic Games. But there’s also plenty of time on our holidays in Athens to explore the city’s forests, mountains and picturesque coastline, where you can get closer to the native wildlife and nature or swim in a deserted cove. And don’t forget to make time for visiting one of the traditional Greek tavernas on your holiday to Athens to sample the local ouzo and mezze.

Excellent holiday only slightly affected by the Force 9 gales that blew for 5 days of our holiday . Karystos a lovely place , family run hotel clean and welcoming , guide Thanos brilliant in the face of having to rearrange whole of the walking itinerary !

The vast timeline of history on this trip was truly amazing. Many of the archeological sites we visited were in breathtaking locations. I was in awe the entire tour. Even the times we were driving from one location to the next was amazing as the landscape is so beautiful.
