There is a well priced 1 day cruise that takes in Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses as well.Īthens itself has great shopping ( don’t miss the huge department store, Attica), incredible food and a lively night-time scene with thousands of tavernas and cafes to choose from. We especially like Hydra which has no cars or scooters and was home to the acclaimed musician Leonard Cohen and many famous playwrights, the original ‘bohemians’ for over 20 years. You can also catch the ferries out to the Saronic islands which are really lovely. ![]() You have a lot of options to get to Athens which cover by air, sea, rail, driving and even on foot!Īpart from the many things you can do in Athens itself it is also feasible to do a day trip to Meteora & Delphi and/or Olympia although Meteora is a long day. It is a big, pale, sprawling metropolis which offers a lot for visitors and is worth a 3-day visit as a minimum, but more if you can manage it. ![]() There are other festivals throughout the year that can vary from place to place and can be quite incredible.īest beach and swimming weather: June to Septemberīest sightseeing weather: March to June and September/OctoberĪthens, of course, is the capital of Greece and home to some of the most iconic and important historical sites and monuments in the world. They say this is when the Gods smile the most and even in the most popular tourist towns and islands its easy to find a quiet spot, a cove, beach, laneway or entire village that retains complete authenticity year-round.Įaster is an especially wonderful time to visit Greece as it becomes very festive with parades, parties, and on many islands bonfires, fireworks and other activities and traditions. The water is warmer, there are blue skies every day and a fabulous holiday atmosphere as Greece is at its absolute prime. Summer is not exactly terrible especially in some of the lesser-known spots. High season is late June to early September, and prices will reflect that as will the crowds, the number of cruise ships and accommodation availability. The weather will be a bit milder and it will be less crowded. The best times to visit Greece are April-June and September-October. ![]()
