Athens Resorts & Tours

The Acropolis of Athens on its rocky hill above the city

Athens is the capital of Greece and one of the oldest cities in the world, home to the Acropolis, the Parthenon and a busy modern center. Most visitors stay in the historic center around Plaka, Syntagma Square and Monastiraki, within walking distance of the main sights, or on the Athens Riviera to the south, where the city meets the sea at Glyfada and Vouliagmeni.

International flights land at Athens International Airport (ATH), about 40 minutes from the city center by car, depending on traffic. The local currency is the euro. Spring (April to June) and fall (September and October) are the most comfortable times to visit, as summers are hot and dry.
