Athens holidays
Always vibrant, this 24-hour city is an intriguing mix of east and west, history and modernity, bustle and culture. Athens contains treasures that really should be seen at least once, and a few nights here can easily be included in our fly-drive or tailor-made holidays.
The Olympic Games meant substantial investment in Athens’ infrastructure (new airport, roads, transport systems), upgrading of museums and historical sites, and significant hotel refurbishment.
We have selected a range of hotels, mainly within our favoured district of Makriyianni, as it is just a short walk from both the Acropolis, the splendid new Acropolis Museum and the atmospheric 19th century Plaka district, now largely pedestrianised.
Athens also has organised beaches – the nearest can be reached by tram from the centre in about half-an hour.
Holidays In Athens
Wherever you stay, a wide range of guided excursions can be had, the most popular being the half-day city tour (c £48), full day Delphi (c £78) and full day Argolis (Mycenae and Epidavros c £78). All can be prebooked. Three and four day Classical Tours are also available. For a full list of tours please enquire or see our website.
Athens is also the embarkation point for a range of 3, 4, 7 and 14 night cruises to the Aegean islands, Turkey and Egypt - choose from popular itineraries on a larger ship taking in the most famous islands or a more intimate small ship/mega-yacht cruise visiting some of the lesser-known. A cruise can be easily tailored into a longer holiday. Please see our website or call for details.
For a brief taste of Athens (including of course the Acropolis) the city can also be visited as part of an excursion from our resort of Tolon (overnight stay possible). A few nights in the city can also be included in any holiday booked via Athens Airport e.g. to Hydra or Andros, only 90 mins and 2 hours by ferry respectively.
