The capital city of Greece is also one of the main vacation spots of the country, being visited year-round by millions of holiday makers eager to see the best part of the cultural and historical remains. Due to the fact that in the city are countless attractions, tourist agencies offer different packages to the most interesting vestiges, but also trips outside of the city to other valuable historical artifacts.

Of course, many other museums & tourist spots can be found and visited using a local city-guide. To enjoy at best the treasures of this magnificent city, holiday makers are advised to stay in hotels in Athens at least 3-4 days before heading to other travel destinations in Greece.
Considered the heart of Greece, both geographically and culturally, from Athens can be taken numerous trips to many other historical landmarks. There are available day or half-day sightseeing tours like the excursion to Delphi, or the combined trips "Hydra, Poros and Egina Day Cruise" and "Mycenae and Epidaurus Day Trip from Athens", but also packages that take 3-4 days and involve land transportation or cruises to Greek Islands.
