Whilst the popular islands and stunning coastlines lure travellers with jaw-dropping beaches, Athens has cemented itself as one of Europe’s best city break destinations. A big part of this is the diverse range of attractions on offer in the Greek capital, from modern, open-air cinemas to ancient ruins known the world over.
As you stroll around the streets, you’ll explore a range of neighbourhoods that highlight Athens’s ability to switch from contemporary to historic, from up-market to dishevelled (but never unpleasant) and from traditional to trendy. There’s a real lived-in feeling to the city and much of today’s cultural highlights come in the form of impromptu creativity – street art daubed on the side of a restored building, dance performances in side streets and musical serenades in welcoming tavernas.
