Local Recommendations from our My Guide Athens team

Athens is a modern, busy and cosmopolitan capital but stil well preserves the elements of its ancient glory. Athens is the perfect city for sightseeing and a great base for excursions around Greece.

There are many specialist tours that will offer you amusing and informative tours of all the main archaeological sites.  Choose a half-day Athens sightseeing or a full-day trip to Delphi.  Take a one-day cruise of Saronic Islands or a day sailing trip.  For a dramatic bird's eye view of the city, take a helicopter ride.
