Whether you’re in Athens for a day or two before heading to an island or you’ve come to explore this popular city break destination for several days, Greece Is Athens Summer 2024 will help you make the most of your time here. It features information on historic neighborhoods, relaxed strolls, and new exciting spots, with reliable tips from specialized journalists and other insiders, including seven Athenian creatives who talk about how their city inspires them and share advice on the city places they love best.

With a look at its historic center and hip new areas, we explore why it’s worth walking around town – even if it’s only for a few hours either side of the scorching midday heat. We guide you through the city’s newest museum, the Excavation Museum, located beneath the Acropolis Museum, offering a new window into our ancient past.

We talk with the director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, an institution whose research and analysis provides important insights into the past and the present of the city. We visit the Katakouzenos House, a house-museum where many of the most famous artists of the ’30s spent their time and left their mark, as well as other small museums, ateliers, and artists’ homes that shed light on the development of modern Greek art. We board the ferry for the short ride to Aegina, a sunny island in the Saronic Gulf and home to significant art figures following their own paths. Seeking yet more enlightenment, we visit Delphi to experience the oracle’s mystical pull.

As always, we also provide you with all the up-to-date information on the city’s cultural events, including the latest temporary exhibitions of ancient and contemporary art, in order to make your trip even more memorable.
