Destination guide
Cheap flights to Athens
Greece
Athens stacks up on two levels: the Acropolis on its rock, and below it Plaka and Monastiraki, market streets that stay busy from morning until late. A short stay is enough to put you among temples thousands of years old, then on a rooftop with the whole city in view. Ferries leave the port for the Aegean islands, so Athens tends to be the start of a trip rather than the whole of it.
Best time to visit
January is the quietest month in Athens: daytime highs around 13C, far shorter lines at the Acropolis, and flights and hotels near their lowest. Low season here is a gift - museums without queues, cafes without a wait. Bring a light coat for the evenings.
