Athens sights

Athens
Should you wish to venture further afield (and we hope lots will) surely Athens will be near the top of places to visit. The Acropolis, museum, market areas, outdoor cinema, cafe and nightlife are reasons to visit.

A World Heritiage site and pretty much at the top of any Athens itinerary. This will not disappoint. Official website here

A great new addition to the area this is a must-do tag on to any trip to the Acropolis.

A fantastic area to have a wander, find a cafe for a coffee and a great area for nightlife. It is quite surreal to walk out of somewhere and glance over and see the mighty Parthenon illuminated at night.

Nightlife Athens
Outdoor cinema - Thission
Voted one of the best outdoor cinemas in the world this is a very popular pastime for Athenians.

Psiri is a hip part of Athens in the centre near all the main attractions. it is a very old part of the city with old mansions that have now been converted into bars, ouzeris and restaurants. It’s definitely a place to hang out at night.

Gazi is another good area for bars, restaurants and meze places.

this site has some good suggestions for things to see and do in Athens
