Why It’s the Perfect Time to Visit

The city awakens with vibrant energy, its neighbourhoods are brightened by blooming bougainvillea and the gentle warmth cast by the sun’s glow.

This season also rings in the celebrations of Greek Easter, a deeply meaningful and festive time filled with traditions, candlelit processions, and joyous feasts. Athens in Spring invites you to embrace the wonderful weather, where every street becomes an open call to wander and explore outdoors.

What To Do in Athens in Spring

Explore The City on Foot or by Metro

This is a city that invites exploration. The Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Ancient Agora are all must-see historical sites in Athens, and all easily accessible by foot or by metro. The mild spring weather makes walking between attractions an absolute joy, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.

Family-Friendly Moments

Discovering the top Athens landmarks is an adventure in itself for families. But that is not all to look forward to. Both adults and children will find plenty to love while visiting Athens in Spring. Like the National Garden, located in the city centre, provides a tranquil escape with shaded pathways, a small zoo, and a playground for younger visitors. For a more dynamic outing, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) is just a 15-minute taxi ride away from the centre. With expansive green spaces, cultural exhibits, and a canal, it’s an engaging experience for all ages.

Urban Strolls: Discover Local Gems

For a taste of authentic Athens, start at Monastiraki Square, where the lively flea market offers a treasure trove of antiques, handmade crafts, and souvenirs. Just a short walk away, the picturesque streets of Plaka invite you to wander through with tavernas spilling onto cobblestone alleys and boutique shops brimming with local finds. As you explore, you’ll encounter stunning neoclassical buildings then the quaint, whitewashed island-style houses of Anafiotika, all nestled under the watchful gaze of the Acropolis.

On the chance that you are visiting during Easter, the customary thing is for people to gather at communal churches for the sombre procession of the Epitaph on Good Friday, and for the Resurrection on Holy Saturday. Experience the tradition yourselves by making an attendance and if you do, may we suggest one of the most iconic ones, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens in Syntagma. 

Venturing Beyond the City

If you’re looking to go Athens sightseeing beyond the centre, the Temple of Sounion offers breathtaking views and an unforgettable sunset over the Aegean Sea. For a taste of Greece’s famed islands, consider a day cruise to the nearby Saronic islands, where tranquil harbours and azure waters await. Spring is the perfect time to start unravelling all the treasures that Athens city has to offer.
