THE BEAUTY OF ATHENS

Since the pandemic started, we have been forced to press pause on our travel plans, but with the restrictions being lifted and summer approaching, we are all very excited to get back to normal. Greece is one of the most famous and beautiful summer destinations, but if you are planning to visit, you can't just focus on the islands. Athens, the capital of Greece, has a lot of things to offer too. On the streets of Athens, you will find a lot of hidden gems. Here are some of our best picks:

THE NATIONAL GARDEN

Located in the heart of Athens, has the ability to make you escape your everyday life. The National Garden is open to the public from sunrise to sunset and has 7 entrances. There, you can walk, exercise and relax, on the benches or under the trees. Furthermore, you will find 519 species and varieties of plants, 6 ponds with ducks, a small library and a cafe. Another one of its attractions is the sundial, which is located at the main entrance.

DIONYSIOU AEROPAGITOU STREET

One of the most impressive streets of Athens! On Dionysiou Aeropagitoy Street you can see many neoclassical buildings, which were built in the late 19th century, and the amazing view of the Acropolis Hill. In addition, there, you will find the entrance of the ancient theatre of Dionysus, the Acropolis Museum, as well as the entrance of the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

ANAFIOTIKA

Anafiotika is a small colony of Athens that can make you feel like you are in another place, in another era. That's because of its architecture which was based on the architecture of Cyclades, hence the white walls and small spaces.

PHILOPAPPOU HILL

Philopappou Hill is located across the Acropolis. There you can find the Philopappou monument, the National Observatory of Athens and, of course, you can admire the incredible view. If you follow the paved paths, you will find yourself on three other hills overlooking Acropolis.
