From the famous historic triangle to the whole host of archaeological monuments dotted around the city, Athens City Breaks offer more to visitors than meets the eye. A typical city break to Athens can include a trip to the famous Acropolis, perched atop a hill overlooking the city and representing the most important reference point for Greek culture. How about an excursion to the Poseidon Temple or Presidential Mansion? And with a multitude of traditional tavernas situated on every street corner, no city break in Athens would be complete without sampling the delicious Greek cuisine and a glass of Ouzo. Stay here into the night, as the city is relaxed and not catered towards the nightclub scene.

The Flea Market on a Sunday and the regular Central Market on Athinas Street throughout the week are the places to experience true Athenian life on a city break in Athens. Bustling with market traders and locals, a friendly welcome and a bargain are always guaranteed in these parts of town. For a more contemporary ambience, take a stroll to Gazi, the site of the old city gas works, and now home to many trendy bars, restaurants and art galleries. The vibe here is chic yet relaxed, and particularly comes alive in the evening and weekends when the locals frequent the ever-growing number of eateries and museums.
