Athens

A cheap city break to Athens is so much more than just that. It’s a tantalising glimpse into long bygone times: The Acropolis overlooks the whole city and it’s just one of the amazing remnants of ancient Greece. Philopappos Hill offers historical ruins and amazing views as does the Temple of Athena Nike. The Roman Agora and the Theatre of Dionysus are some of the other most unmissable ancient sights during your holidays to Athens.

You should also explore the rustic village of Anafiotika, a neighbourhood in the city that’s retained its distinct white-washed charm amid this modern city. But your city break to Athens isn’t just about history – check out its burgeoning music scene, its museums and art, as well as its amazing food where you can sample Greek specialties in their natural habitat. Get your caffeine fix in one of the many trendy coffee shops popping up all across the city and sip Greek wines in one of the cool bars all around the streets.

The range of things to do means your Athens holidays can be what you want them to be whether it’s a short weekend break in Athens or a longer holiday to Athens – let Cassidy Travel help you to start planning it today.
