Welcome to Athens! Travelling from Athens airport to the city centre is really easy and you have a variety of options. For a stress-free and quick option, pre-book your transfer (link below). Alternatively you can get a bus into the city centre or the metro although this does take longer and can get crowded.

Athens has so many lovely hotels and air bnbs. The first time I went I stayed in a beautiful air bnb in Plaka, but the second time I went I opted for a luxury hotel in the city centre which was within walking distance to all main attractions. Hotel Grand Bretagne was absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend it! Drop off your bags to your accommodation, freshen up and get ready to explore Athens!

Start your trip with a delicious souvlaki from Kostas, it will definitely fuel you up for a day of exploring. This is a small joint with long queues and very limited places to sit but it is completely worth the wait.

Once you have grabbed a bite to eat you can slowly make your way over to the theatre of Dionysus as part of visiting the Acropolis. These are two of the most historical sights to visit and should not be missed. You can pre-book tickets or do a day tour to see these sites using the link below. Tip: check what’s on at the theatre as they have concerts and open theatre shows on during the summer months which are worth watching for an alternative experience.

Next stop: The Acropolis! This is the most visited site in Athens which means it gets very crowded especially during summer. I would recommend you visit either during the early morning before 10am (and even earlier in summer) or for sunset in order to beat the crowds. It gets really hot up there during summer as it’s completely exposed so make sure to take a hat and water bottle. You can pre-book tickets to visit the Acropolis and also pre-book a guided tour to learn the history about the Acropolis. I would definitely recommend this in order to get the most out of the site (see link below).

One way to end the day is to book an Athens night sightseeing tour with a Greek dinner show! Not only do you get to the see the main attractions in a different atmosphere but you also get delicious traditional food!

Grab a coffee and breakfast to fuel up for your day! This hotel is located in Syntagma Square so you can start the day by watching the changing of the guards and exploring the square.

Walk over early to the Panathenaic stadium first as it’s completely exposed so best to go whilst it’s still cool. This stadium hosted the first modern day Olympic Games and is the only stadium in the world made entirely of marble! It’s well worth the visit!

The temple of Zeus is only a short walk from the Panathenaic stadium and is one of the must-visit sites!

Ancient Agora consists of multiple sites that are worth visiting! You may want to opt for doing a walking tour of Athens so you can learn the history of the city and visit the best sites including in ancient Agora.

Finish the day with a walking tour around Mount Lycabettus, in time for sunset! You will get beautiful views of Athens including of the Acropolis.

There are lots of day trips you can do from Athens but by far one of the best is doing an island day trip! It’s a great escape from the city, especially if you don’t have time to visit the bigger Greek islands! I would recommend combining Hydra and Poros as they are close to each other.

Stop off for lunch! I would recommend steering away from the port and going either inland or towards the small fishing villages for a less touristic lunch!

Head back to Athens for a final delicious dinner before flying back home or to another destination! If you can extend your trip I would suggest moving on to the bigger islands like Crete or Santorini!
