Which Places Do You Absolutely Have to Visit in Athens?
Picture this: you just arrived in Athens, you left your luggage at the villa you're renting and you are ready to take a trip back in time in the Athens centre...Where to go first? Of course you visit the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum for an inclusive introduction to Greek Athenian Antiquity and a unique birds-eye view of the whole city!Planning to Visit Athens? These Are the Landmarks You Need to See
Athens is a dream destination that combines the ancient with the modern and picturesque. Once you leave the Acropolis Museum, feel free to walk around the streets of Plaka, dressed in the neoclassical aesthetic. We believe that wanderlust is a travel must, an inherent part of visiting the Greek capital. A five minute walk from the Acropolis takes you to the Herod Atticus Odeon, where many classical artists have "painted the atmosphere" with their divine music over the years. It is one of the best places to visit! From music to sports, make sure to find your way to the marvellous Panathenaic Stadium, the landmark that hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896!Hotel or Villa: Which Is the Ideal Choice for Your Holiday in Athens?
Spacious dining halls or a homely kitchen? Shared pool and in-house spa treatments or private pool and personal training? Whether you feel like experiencing the Greek hospitality in a hotel, or rent your own apartment, one thing is for sure: luxury options are abundant! However, we are willing to bet that besides a luxurious getaway, what you need right now is your privacy. So make sure to head over to our collection and book the Greek villa of your dreams! Our experiences are tailor-made, so nothing is missing from your private holiday.
