Trendiest neighborhoods🏡

Plaka

This neighborhood feels like a small village with artisanal shops, and local tavernas.

You can find yourself wandering through the charming and narrow streets, admiring the ancient buildings and sites before heading to the picturesque squares surrounded by restaurants and cafes.

Kypseli

Talk a walk through Athen’s most artistic and multicultural neighborhoods. There are events, food markets, pop-up shops and more on every corner.

You can hang here just for a meal or stay into the night and dine like Frank Sintra once did at the Au Revoir bar.

Paleo Faliro

If you want to breathe in the ocean air and get away from downtown, Paleo Faliro is the place for you. It’s still close to the city center but it’s a more quiet environment.

Plus, there’s still a lot you can do: take a walk by the marina, visit the planetarium, go to museums, gastronomy tours and the list goes on!

What else do you need to know about Athens?🤔

Gyros, moussaka, tzatziki…

Athens is amazing and the weather is fantastic, but you know what even better? The food. If there’s one thing that can’t be denied, it’s that the Greek cuisine is delicious.
Souvlaki, moussaka, gyros, tzatziki with a side of pita bread, and pastelis. That's just a taste of what to expect in Athens. If you’re a big foodie, you’re bound to have a good time in this city.

Sunny days all year long

The sun shines in Athens no matter what season it is. Want to forget the cold, even in winter? In this city, the temperatures almost never go below 14 degrees even on the coldest days.

This gives you more time to lay back on the beach and soak up the sun. It’s also why most people in Athens are always out and about. If the weather’s good, there’s no reason to be cooped up inside! There are so many activities waiting for you and the perfect climate for you to enjoy them!

Name day celebrations

Did you know that the Greeks celebrate 'name days' and their birthdays? Every saint has a day of remembrance, and most of the people in Greece have the same name as the saint. So on the day of their saint, they celebrate it with vivid celebrations.

Be prepared to dance and fill yourself up with tasty treats and meals on both the ‘name days’ and birthdays of your Greek colleagues!
