The trip was absolutely amazing, the perfect mix of fun days out but also chill time to do your own things. All the places were amazing and well worth the while.

This trip was absolutely awesome, even though things went a little wrong as it is living on a boat, top deck and the crew handled everything perfectly. We had issues on our first day with the boat and mechanic needed to fix something, our trip manager was making us lots of “welcome drinks” to keep us from concentrating on that! Even with strong winds the crew still found a lovely place for us to swim for the day. Absolute highlight of the trip was hydra! It was stunning! I would recommend walking as far up as possible early in the morning before the sun peaks over the mountain and gets too hot! *Pictured below*

I had the best time on the Sail & Swim Greece tour! It has been the highlight of my travels. A special shout out to Maria and the crew. They were friendly, relaxed, hospitable and fun! Great people.

Athens - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Plaka, the old historical neighborhood of Athens
Plaka district that sits in the shadows of the city's ancient ruins

Travel Highlights

  • Nestled on an old citadel overlooking the Greek capital, Acropolis is the birthplace of democracy and the crown jewel of Athenian ancient sights. Acropolis’ most important architectural feat is the Parthenon, a magnificent temple that dates back to 5 th century BC.
  • At the foot of Acropolis, you will find Plaka, a historic neighborhood characterized by quaint cobbles alleys, neoclassical architecture and old Roman-era ruins.
  • A quiet inner-city oasis, the National Garden spans 38 acres of luscious vegetation, as well as duck ponds and a small zoo.
  • Syntagma Square, a gorgeous plaza lined with shops, cafés and neoclassical mansions, represents the heart of the city and a central meeting point for all Athenians.

Travel Tips

  • Any trip to Athens simply wouldn’t be complete without trying a bona fide Greek souvlaki. Best places to do so can be found along the Mitropoleos Street, where you can fill your belly like a true Greek god.
  • If you’re planning your visit to Athens during scorching summer months, you might want to refresh yourself by checking out one of the capital’s numerous beaches, such as Vouliagmeni and Cape Sounion.
  • Due to inflated prices and unbearably hot weather, you might want to plan your holidays in Athens outside of peak summer months (July and August). Spring, early summer and fall tend to be the most pleasant months for sightseeing, as there is still plenty of sunshine, but the temperatures tend to be more moderate.
  • The most efficient way to get around Athens is by using the metro. You can either purchase single journeys or an all-day ticket, which might be convenient if you plan on doing a lot of sightseeing.
