View All DealsHolidays to Athens take you to the heart of a dynamic city of contrasts, where ancient wonders meet modern comforts.
There's no mistaking Athens – it's one of the only places where you can follow up a high-end shopping spree with a wander around ancient ruins. Proudly stood on mainland's southern coast, Greece's capital city has museums by the bucketload, as well as authentic food experiences, glitzy nightclubs and even amusement parks.
If there's one thing Athens has on lock, it's culture. Visit the famous Temple of Zeus, Ancient Agora and the Acropolis at your own pace along the spacious Grand Promenade. There are also plenty of galleries and museums to choose from, and you can learn about the modern Greek art scene with a guided street tour.
The urban bustle means you've got options, no matter the time. By night, Athens boasts everything from back-alley wine bars to glamorous nightclubs and dance spots. By day, you can take advantage of the sun with a 20-minute taxi to Alimos Beach – your destination for soft sands, sunloungers and clear water.
It's not all bustle and urban jungle. Unwind with some traditional brandy to the tune of Greek blues in Plaka, or head to artificial Lake Beletsi for a chilled-out waterside picnic. If you prefer a little retail therapy, there are plenty of high-fashion boutiques all over town.
