Athens City & Riviera

| Multi-Centres | Greece

Athens is a city where ancient history and modern life intertwine seamlessly, with each corner telling a story shaped over millennia. Stand beneath the iconic Parthenon as it soars above the Acropolis, wander through the atmospheric streets of Plaka and Monastiraki, and experience a vibrant capital where culture, cuisine, and contemporary energy converge. From world-famous landmarks to hidden neighbourhood treasures, Athens provides a captivating start to your journey through Greece, enriched by a stay with Grecotel Hotels & Resorts in the city centre.

Beyond the capital, the pace relaxes as you follow the coast to the Athenian Riviera, where crystal-clear waters, golden light, and elegant surroundings set the scene for relaxation. Here, your Grecotel Hotels & Resorts experience continues by the sea, with beachfront luxury, refined dining, and uninterrupted views across the Aegean, creating the perfect coastal retreat. Discover the stunning beauty of Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon, or simply unwind and embrace the slower tempo of the Riviera.
