Tours & Travel Packages
Spring and autumn showcase the true magic of Athens with cheaper flights and more affordable accommodation available during these shoulder seasons. Temperatures are mild and the city is not as crowded as during the summer months, giving you plenty of room to explore the many spellbinding delights that Athens has to offer. The summer months are hot and dry in Athens, sometimes with scorching August temperatures driving the locals out to the coastline for a refreshing dip in the nearby waters. You’ll pay a higher price for your tickets to Athens as well as for your hotel during these peak months, as people from all over come to soak up the sun.
Blindingly white sugar-cube houses set against the deep, sparkling blue of the Mediterranean, one of the world's great cuisines and some of the most fun-loving people on Earth – it's no wonder Greece is a perennial favorite among travelers. And if you think the stories are mere hype or the postcards doctored, guess again. Greece is blessed with a beautiful landscape, and few countries celebrate life as zealously as Greeks do. Though its location as a bridge between Europe and Asia led to millennia of invaders, the tradition of philoxenia, or hospitality to travelers, continues as strong today as it was in the time of Homer. In Greece, when the wine and ouzo flow, the dancing begins, and you are always welcome. GetYourGuide is the booking platform for incredible travel experiences.
