Visit the Acropolis early in the morning and walk between Plaka and Monastiraki. A visit to the Agora is recommended, but you can opt for a walk to Syntagma and the more connected atmospheres of Psiri. Late in the afternoon, why not go to Lycabettus Hill to enjoy a superb view of the capital? Finish the day with a dinner in the chic Kolonaki or Exarchia neighborhood.
One of the most beautiful ports in Greece. In this island forbidden to cars, you will walk in a maze of houses with tight blue shutters in whitewashed alleys. A small harbour brimming with charm and pleasure craft at anchor. Beautiful merchant houses with pastel colours facing the sea, marked by the many artists and intellectuals who lived there.
" Island to pistachios ". 40 minutes from Athens, you will enjoy the quiet calm and beauty of this island dominated by its neoclassical houses, its white church of Aghios Nikolaos and its carriages. Visit the only surviving column of Apollo's famous temple and the temple of Aphaa, a few kilometres from the harbour.
The island closest to the mainland. From this wooded island you can see the houses in the Tuiles roof roofs in the Peloponnese and the famous Lemonodassos, the Lemon Forest. If you extend a day, you can even take the ferry and join the mainland in less than 30 minutes.
"The Island aux Pins", drowned in the greenery, first echoes the sound of the carriages that beat the pavement and runs along the white houses. Carriages replace cars, prohibited. The water of the beaches is clean and crystal-clear, and the corniche s careless. What more can be demanded for a weekend before recovering the capital...
The visit of the Archaeological Museum will take you the morning for example. You can then reach Omonia and the central market for a quick lunch before going to the Ceramics and Puces flea market. An excursion to the Areopagus and the The can be pleasant to finish the day, before you go to Plaka or to attend the light and light show of the Acropolis in summer.
