The answer is: A LOT!


What to see in Athens?

 


When it comes to Athens, this no doubt is the most asked question by first time visitors to the cradle of democracy. As easy as it is to ask the question, as difficult is its answer. A lot depends on a number of factors:Arial view of Athens

  • How long do you intent staying in Athens?
  • What time of the year do you want to visit Athens?
  • What do you expect of your visit to Athens?
  • Is it a cultural, historical or just a relaxing visit you are planning?
  • Or maybe a mix of all?
  • Are you on your own, with a partner, a group?
  • Are you travelling with children?
  • Do you intend to go shopping?
  • Does wining and dining and green covered terraces appeal to you?

As you can see, only you can answer these questions. Therefore, there is no way for the Athens Info Guide to give you the perfect answer to the question "What to see in Athens?". It is clear that visiting the Acropolis by yourself or with a group of 25 people is quite different.

As the Athens Info Guide cannot know your preferences and priorities, we will give you a detailed overview and let you chose what to see. You are invited to us e-mail with your questions and problems. Our team will do its utmost best to help you. Whatever your selection may be, we hope you will enjoy our virtual tour. Top
