What can you do in Athens?

Athens pairs timeless landmarks with easy escapes, from the Acropolis to a day on the water or a scenic excursion into Greece’s ancient heartland.

Day Trip to Delphi

Ruins of the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, overlooking the valley below and the mountains of Mount Parnassus.

Delphi is one of the most iconic excursions from Athens. This UNESCO-listed sanctuary was once home to the legendary Oracle of Delphi and remains an archaeological treasure of temples and ancient ruins. Set on the slopes of Mount Parnassus, it also offers dramatic mountain scenery and sweeping views across the valley.

Sunny Mediterranean Cruise

Luxury motor yacht cruising on calm blue water near the Athens coastline, with rocky shores and green hills in the background.

Athens has a vibrant seafaring culture that comes with many choices of cruise trips. You can book a yacht charter from an established business, or you can find a local offering trips on their own vessel. No matter your taste, you’ll find a world of adventure waiting for you in the port of Athens.

Visit the Parthenon

The Parthenon on the Acropolis in Athens, viewed from a distance at sunset with the city and surrounding hills in the background.

Rising above the city on the Acropolis, the Parthenon is Athens’ most iconic landmark and a defining symbol of classical Greece. Visiting in person is all about the details: the honey-coloured marble, the scale of the columns, and the panoramic views over the rooftops to the sea. For a smoother experience, aim for an early morning or late-afternoon slot and pair it with the Acropolis Museum to add context to what you’ve just seen.

Where should you stay in Athens?

From historic landmark addresses to rooftop escapes with Acropolis views, Athens offers luxury stays that combine classic elegance with a true sense of place.

Where should you eat in Athens?

From refined Michelin-star dining to standout seaside seafood, Athens offers a high-end restaurant scene that’s as polished as it is distinctly Mediterranean.

Botrini

Looking for a classy, elegant, Michelin-starred dinner? Try Botrini's. The chef's Greek-Italian heritage shines through his cooking, which incorporates techniques and dishes from both nations. For an added personal touch, the chef also brought the unique culinary traditions of his home island of Corfu with him. Try out the "My Origins" set menu to enjoy a unique, vibrant meal that even most Greeks will not have experienced.

Spondi

Athens's highest-rated restaurant is Spondi, which holds two Michelin stars. It’s an international restaurant that pairs exquisite French cuisine with fine Greek wines, a combination that gives every dish a local flair. Ambience and atmosphere are also a big selling point, thanks to the pair of charming dining rooms. The owners even designed one in the style of a vaulted cellar.

Varoulko Seaside

If seafood is more to your taste, you’ll love the menu at Varoulko Seaside. They prepare squid, octopus, and other delicious dishes straight from the Mediterranean Sea. High-quality, ultra-fresh ingredients are at the heart of the Varoulko Seaside menu.
