Going hand in hand with history, the museums and archaeological sites in Athens are the perfect way to help piece together all the facts that you learn while visiting. Here you are truly spoiled for choice, with a huge number of museums and sites in the city centre alone. You just need to decide which ones you’d like to visit.

Many parts of Athens often have an unassuming exterior. While the buildings may be dated and worn, it by no means alludes to a dull interior. The narrow and sprawling alleyways of the city can lead you to the most unexpected and pleasant of surprises. In Athens there are constantly things to explore, and you’ll find something new and exciting every single day, no matter the length of your stay.

The city center is very close to the port in Piraeus and marinas of Athens Riviera. Piraeu’s port is the biggest port in Greece, and ferries run frequently to many gorgeous island destinations. A stay in Athens leaves you situated in the perfect central location; you get the best of both worlds in that you can experience some of the mainland but also see the islands. This proximity is always good when you only have a limited number of days on holiday. So, while it is possible to fly straight to Argosaronic Gulf and Cyclades by chartering a yacht, why not consider visiting Athens first?
