Coming from abroad? Here are somes ideas to make your stay in Greece a real experience:

acropolis1When you land in Athens...

Ok, a visit to Greek Islands can be a dream vacation, especially when you travel for a wedding, a baptism or any other happy event...But spare yourself sometime and make a stop at Athens since this is where you land!We suggest you stay one day in Athens, have a taste of the Athenian way of life in Summer and the next morning, off to Antiparos..

 

 

What to do in Athens in one Day:

Give yourself the chance to be amazed by the ancient Greek culture and civiliazation! Visit The Acropolis Museum!

The Acropolis Museum is in the Athens city centre, in one of the most picturesque areas of Athens... Monastiraki, Thiseion and Plaka are 5 minutes walk from the Museum! Have a walk from the Acropolis Museum towards Monastiraki and enjoy the sophistication of Greek Architecture.

Do not miss to stop at Monastiraki for a traditional gourmet Greek lunch and then a coffee at the most beautiful area of Athens, lying in the shadow of Acropolis, Plaka

Here are some suggestions for lunch and/or coffee in the centre of Athens:

Alternative Antiparos

There is more to Antiparos than the village and the cave. Unfortunately, most tourists never discover this,alternativeantip and so miss out on a great experience. In my opinion no stay in Antiparos is complete without a visit to St Georgios, 12 km from the port, lunch at Captain

Captain Pipinos at the water’s edge, and a boat trip with Captain SARGOS.

 

Captain SARGOS with his fast-going boat SARGOS I can offer you an unforgettable trip, taking in a visit to the archeological site on Despotico, the cave of the Epitaphios ,which is such a tight fit for the boat you are sure it cannot possibly get through ,where you can swim from the boat, and then the Captain will leave you on a beautiful sandy beach on the deserted island of Despotico and return to get you at an agreed time. The boat trip takes around 2 hours, not counting time spent on the beach. You can call the Captain on +30 9673 79 48 76 or just turn up at St Georgios. You will find him on the boat or in the taverna. You cannot miss him, he is the one with the bandana round his head, looking like a pirate!

During High Season, the boat departs at 11 am and then every 2 hours until quite late. During Low Season, ie April, May, September and October, trips run on demand.
