Crowned by the mighty Acropolis and iconic Parthenon, 21st century Athens is a sophisticated metropolis blending ancient and modern in a vibrant city.
Browse the markets
Head to the bazaar area around Omonia Square for a lively selection of bustling market stalls, boutique shops and tempting eateries which give a real flavour of traditional Athenian life. Here you will also find Athens Central Market where you can wander the halls of fresh produce including stalls with cheeses, fish, herbs and spices and sweets. The aromas and atmosphere are intoxicating.
Visit The Acropolis
Not so much a secret as an essential visit when in Athens. The birthplace of European civilisation and the most famous acropolis in the world, the Acropolis attracts over 2 million visitors each year. To avoid the worst of the crowds arrive as early as you can, or approach on foot through the pedestrianised streets of Agora, for fantastic views from almost every angle.
Take in the view
For the best views of the city, take the funicular from Odhós Aristípou up Lykavitos Hill. On a clear day you can see as far as the Peloponnese Mountains. Visit at night for a panoramic view of the bright lights of Athens.
Explore Greek history
As the oldest city in Europe, Athens is home to an extraordinary collection of historic monuments and artefacts, many of which are housed in the inspirational National Archaeological Museum. This is the largest museum in Greece housing over 20,000 exhibits from all over the country.
Take in an amazing sunset at Cape Sounion
Cape Sounion is home to the ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. The remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the Aegean Sea, making it a spectacular spot to take in the sunset.
