Athens Travel Tips
8:25 PM Wednesday, May 23
Passing clouds. Cool.
7 day forecast »
Redolent with mythology, loaded with art and architecture, Athens is an affable city enlivened by outdoor cafes, gardens and urban eccentrics. The city may look like a concrete jungle, but beyond this off-putting veneer it has heaps of dilapidated charm. Almost every house and apartment has a balcony hanging with geraniums, and many of the city's streets and squares are fringed with orange trees.
Away from the museums and monuments, the Acropolis and Omonia Square, Athens has a lively outdoor culture and zest for life. Get to know the city better on a private walking tour, or use Athens as a base to tour surrounding highlights like the Temple of Apollo at Delphi or to cruise to the Aegean islands.
