Athens, the capital of Greece, offers a fascinating blend of ancient history and modern city life. The iconic Acropolis, crowned by the Parthenon, stands as a testament to the city's role as the birthplace of Western civilization. Visitors can explore the National Archaeological Museum, wander through the charming Plaka district, or enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Monastiraki Square. For those seeking coastal beauty, the nearby Athens Riviera provides beautiful beaches and seaside towns. Throughout the year, Athens hosts numerous cultural events, including the Athens Festival in summer with performances at the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The city serves as an excellent starting point for ferry journeys to the Greek islands, with regular connections to popular destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete from the busy port of Piraeus. Day trips to nearby islands such as Aegina, Hydra and Poros are also possible, making Athens an ideal base for exploring the Aegean Sea.
The Saronic Islands offer a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Athens, combining beautiful beaches with rich history. This picturesque archipelago includes Aegina, Poros, Hydra, and Spetses, each with its own distinct character. Aegina is famous for its pistachio farms and the well-preserved Temple of Aphaia, while car-free Hydra attracts artists with its stone mansions and charming harbour. History buffs will love Spetses' role in the Greek War of Independence, now showcased in its museums. The Saronic Gulf comes alive during the annual Aegina Fistiki Fest celebrating the island's famous pistachios, and the spectacular Armata Festival on Spetses commemorating a naval victory with impressive reenactments and fireworks. These islands are easily accessible by frequent ferries from Athens' ports of Piraeus and Rafina, making them perfect for island hopping or as a starting point for exploring more of Greece's island gems.
