Things to do in Athens, Greece

Catch an evening film under the open summer sky right by the sea breeze of the Phaleron Delta.

Savor refined modern Greek gastronomy on a sleek rooftop overlooking the illuminated Parthenon.

High-octane Greek football action under the stadium floodlights as the new season gets underway.

A rare cross-cultural exhibition tracing the profound aesthetic dialogues between classical Greek heritage and Italian artistic traditions.

Enjoy comforting classics like handmade sfougato, slow-cooked lamb, and crisp house retsina in a lively neighborhood tavern setting.

Board a quick 1-hour ferry from Piraeus to find crystal-clear turquoise waters, pine forests dipping into the sea, and a relaxed, car-free island pace.

Wander through the shaded Mediterranean Garden or relax by the dancing water fountains as the evening sun cools down.

Submerge yourself in the naturally warm, mineral-rich brackish waters cradled by towering limestone cliffs just down the coast.

Drive two hours northwest up the slopes of Mount Parnassus to tour the majestic ruins of the Delphi oracle, then enjoy mountain breezes and local cheeses in stone-built Arachova.
