City Breaks in Athens, Greece

Athens is a perfect destination for a city break, and even if you only have a few days to spare, the relatively compact historic centre means that you can still experience the main attractions of Athens and discover many of the iconic archaeological treasures that draw so many international tourists to this unique city. Athens has an unrivalled collection of ancient monuments and temples, including the unmistakable Parthenon, as well as superb museums and art galleries, medieval churches, smart shopping areas and of course, some of the very best Greek restaurants and tavernas to be found anywhere. If you have more time for your city break to Athens, you can make the city your base for exploring the surrounding areas, such as the seaside resorts further down the coast, the medieval Dafni Monastery to the north, the ruins of ancient Eleusis and, the beautiful countryside of the Attic peninsula or perhaps one or two of the nearby islands such as Aegina or Hydra.
