Athens in Season
Athens is always in season with comfortable and favorable climate conditions for travel and sightseeing. Summer means outdoor cinemas, spectacular performances in ancient amphitheatres and sun-blessed days and indulgences. Early autumn means much of the same, only cooler. Winter is one of Athens' best-kept secrets: a time of cozy outdoor gatherings at cafés brimming with heated lamps and hot coffee, toasty warm weekends at nearby mountain villas and a holiday sparkling with lights from the Acropolis and beyond. Spring is an Athens favorite, a precursor to its famed summers with warm temperatures and fragrant jasmine-filled scents in the air that inspire shopping along its main boulevards and tiny cobblestone streets.
Whatever time of year you choose to visit, Athens is always ready and ripe for the taking. Try Athens - in any season - and we are sure you'll love it.
