Excursions
If you are only making a weekend visit to Athens you may want to limit yourself to the city itself, though an evening bus ride to romantic Cape Sounion is easily done, and Piraeus and Kifissia are on the metro. With a few more days, though, there are many other exciting options, available as one- or two-day tours through hotels and travel agents; alternatively, most are equally easy to arrange for yourself. Those who have never visited a Greek island should certainly take the opportunity. The nearest major island, Aegina, is only 40 minutes away by Flying Dolphin. Athens is also the hub of the excellent Greek bus network, with cheap and regular services to famous places such as Mycenae, Epidavros and the incomparable Delphi. |
