Flights to Athens

Few, if any, places can boast the historical and cultural credentials of Athens. That's thanks to its rich history – it's the oldest capital city in Europe, was the home to many of the great philosophers and playwrights of the last three millennia, and is one of the oldest cities in the world. Plus, its ancient landmarks are renowned across the globe, such as the Parthenon on Acropolis Hill. Boarding a flight to Athens is like travelling back in time.

But there's more to Athens than its fascinating history, and the modern day city has a lot to offer. Ever since it hosted the Olympics in 2004, increasing investments in Athens’ infrastructure, along with the regeneration of certain areas and dusting off of its hidden gems, have made the Greek capital more tourist-friendly than ever.

There are a huge number of options when it comes to things to do, what to eat and where to stay; everything from five-star traditional hotels that host world leaders to hip and funky hostels are available.

The food is a particular highlight – and small tavernas sit comfortably alongside multi-Michelin-starred eateries that are continually pushing the boundaries of Greek cuisine. High-end treats continue in the upmarket shopping boutiques of Attica or the district of Ermou.

And while this is a city drenched in history, its youthful, playful attributes are demanding attention. The ancient sites are a must-visit – they are revered for a reason – but it's good to make time for simply hanging out in rejuvenated area such as Gazi.

Other hip areas have sprung up offering a vibrant choice of lounges, restaurants and nightlife venues, so staying out into the early hours with the locals is as easy as it is fun. Grab a coffee and a plate of keftedes and watch the world go by, or take in the city as a whole from the vantage point of Mount Lycabettus.

And when you've had your fill of the fun of the city, make your way to one of the beautiful beaches such as Legrena or Votsalakia.

What to do in Athens

Hang out in trendy Gazi

This is one of the city's coolest regenerated neighbourhoods. A quick conversion of a gas tower into a cultural space, and the opening up of various hip lounges, and Gazi became the place to be in Athens. Start at Gazarte – a lounge, restaurant, gig venue, cinema and bookstore all in one.

Shop at Varvakios Agora

If you love good food and exciting produce, seek out Varvakios Agora, also known as the Central Market, in Athens. Vibrant colours are everywhere as sellers hawk all types of fish, meat and vegetables. You can also purchase fantastic Greek spices and cheeses, and stop for a bite at one of the nearby tavernas.

Visit the Parthenon

As one of the world’s most recognisable historical structures, getting up close and learning more about this iconic building is a must. It's been a temple, a treasury, a fortress and a mosque during its 2,500-year history. At night the Acropolis sound and light show adds a whole new dimension.

Where to eat in Athens

Rakor (Modern Greek)

One of the best value for money restaurants in Athens, the modern take on Greek food accompanied by live Jazz music is a must-visit.

Base Grill (Steakhouse)

If meat is your thing, then book a table at this popular restaurant in Bournazi. Boasting the best steaks in the city, some of their house dishes are so popular that other eateries in Athens have copied them. Try the fries made into a nest that contains runny eggs – it's the perfect accompaniment to a beautiful steak.
