Yes, Athens is a great place and most people’s dream and lifetime destination! When booking a ticket to Greece, Athens is the first place that comes in mind; and that’s understandable!
Who wouldn’t want to see the mother city of democracy? Who wouldn’t want to admire Parthenon and Acropolis?! And who wouldn’t want to try the Greek delicious specialties served by typical greek restos?! But here’s some food for thought: as much as we love exploring our ever-surprising city, we know there’s just too much to see in this country to spend your holidays in Greece in just one place. And before you think you have no time or no money to consider too many places to visit in Greece, I’m here to tell you there are plenty of incredible things to without spending more than a day and only a little extra cash. So pack up and prepare for an adventure; these 9 places will convince you that you really have to move just a bit outside the city and the experience will be rewarding!
