Athens Flight Guide

The Greek capital Athens has about 3.8 million residents which make up one third of the country’s total population. No other city in the world can compete with the amount of preserved ancient buildings that Athens has on offer. It is a must for all history lovers! It is useful to read about Greek mythology and ancient Greek history to appreciate the culture and significance of Athens. A handy guide is also convenient while travelling and can be purchased all around Athens.

The Acropolis is probably the most famous monument in Athens but not the only one. Any sightseeing tour of Athens should include the Dionysus theatre and Hadrian’s Library which is located in the heart of the ancient town called Plaka. To experience Mediterranean lifestyle and meet Athens’ joyful locals, pay a visit to the district Psirri which features cosy taverns, pubs and clubs. Syntagma is the ideal address for a shopping spree where tourists will find well-known chains as well as designer boutiques.

There are unlimited accommodation options in Athens and visitors are advised to find suitable hotels online well in advance to pay reasonable prices. An inside tip is the centrally located Parthenon Hotel which is only a short walk from the Acropolis. The climate in Athens is shaped by very high temperatures during summer and cold winters. The best time to travel is therefore spring or autumn to enjoy Athens in mild weather conditions. Qantas and Singapore Airlines offer flights to Athens from all major Australian airports, with average flight durations of 21- 22 hours.
