Best time to visit Athens

Athens is a fascinating city that is enjoyed year-round. However, the best time to visit is during the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn, which fall between April to June and September to November. 

Spring is renowned for its abundance of flora and fauna, while autumn is a quieter and more relaxed time to explore the city's many historical and cultural attractions. 

Summer is ideal for a beach holiday. But the heat can be overwhelming, with temperatures reaching 35°C, especially in the peak months of July and August. Winter is the low season, with colder temperatures but occasional rainfall, fewer crowds, and lower prices. 

Regardless of when your visit is, you can enjoy an array of activities and attractions that make Athens one of the most exciting cities in Europe.

Ideal duration for Athens

If you’re short on time, two days is enough to explore the iconic Acropolis and its archaeological sites, stroll through the charming Plaka district and indulge in traditional Greek cuisine.

Now for those with three to four days to spare, you can visit the National Archaeological Museum, explore the National Gardens, and take a day trip to the seaside town of Glyfada.

A five to seven-day visit allows for day trips to the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion, the ancient city of Corinth, and even the stunning island of Aegina.

A two-week stay or longer would be ideal for those who wish to know the city in and out. This will give you plenty of time to attend language classes, and cooking workshops, volunteer at local organizations, and take longer day trips to Delphi, Nafplio, or the Peloponnese.

How to reach Athens

By Plane: The Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport serves the city 20 kilometers east of the city center. 

By Train: You can reach Athens by train if you're already in Europe. The journey may take a little longer, but it's a great way to experience the countryside and travel differently. The train station in Athens is located in the city center, making it easy to access your hotel or other attractions.

By Car: Renting a car is another good option for exploring Greece alone. Athens is connected to the rest of Greece through a network of highways, making it easy to drive to other destinations. However, it's important to note that driving in Athens can be challenging due to traffic and narrow streets. It's best to plan your route ahead of time and be prepared for some adventurous driving.
