About Athens
Athens, the ancient capital of Greece and cradle of Western civilization, sits 41km from Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos". The city offers an unparalleled blend of ancient history and vibrant modern life, with the iconic Acropolis and Parthenon dominating the skyline from their rocky hilltop perch. The city center spreads across multiple neighborhoods - Syntagma Square serves as the commercial hub, while Monastiraki and Plaka offer atmospheric lanes filled with tavernas, boutiques and ancient ruins at street level.
Athens rewards visitors with world-class museums including the Acropolis Museum, National Archaeological Museum and Benaki Museum, each housing extraordinary collections spanning millennia. The Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch stand within walking distance of each other in the historic center. Evening brings Athens to life with rooftop bars offering Acropolis views, excellent restaurants serving mezedes, and a nightlife scene ranging from traditional rebetiko music clubs to modern venues in Gazi and Koukaki.
The Athens Metro provides competitive service but cannot match door-to-door convenience: Line 3 Blue connects airport to Syntagma in 40 minutes (€10), running every 30 minutes 6am-midnight. However, most hotels and attractions lie scattered across neighborhoods requiring additional navigation - Plaka hotels are 1km from Syntagma through narrow pedestrian streets, Acropolis area 2km via steep uphill walk. Private transfer delivers directly to your hotel address in approximately 40 minutes, eliminating transfers and luggage struggles.
