Attica – Land of inexhaustible experiences

Βλέπεις

Short, short excursions to the Attica nature, relaxing walks in the city, “therapeutic” walks in its markets and invigorating “injections” of culture and entertainment. All this in Attica! From Athens to Sounion, Piraeus, Marathon and the islands, enjoy an autumn travel “crescendo” with unprecedented experiences. Even if you have climbed the Acropolis many times, it is worth another visit to look for a small flower among the ancient columns, the micromeria, the ancient plant that had disappeared for 100 years and grows again only there on the Holy Rock and nowhere else in the world. Follow the story of water in the new metro of Piraeus at the Municipal Theatre, with the blue background and the map of the city with the Hippodamean architecture “hooked” on the roof. Tour museums and art galleries from the well-known to the more “sophisticated”. Indulge in an autumn sunset at Sounion and set sail for the islands of the Saronic Gulf as long as the weather permits.

“Dress up your travel mood, nights and days with whatever music you like. Attica has it all! Sounds from all over Greece and the world. From traditional Greek music, rebetiko, classical European, art music to rock, rap, hip hop, jazz and other contemporary sounds. Now is the time for the renewed programme of the National Opera and the Athens Concert Hall as well as many other music venues.

You’re sniffing

The fragrant water lilies that give the city its orange color, the smell of pine trees and herbs that “flood” Attica from end to end. From the hill of Filopappou and Lycabettus to the Ymittos, Parnitha and the islands. All sorts of spices emanating their “spicy” aromas in Evrypidou and the autumnal sea air “traveling” the mind.

Taste

Among the flavours from all over the world, this autumn look for delicacies made with authentic ingredients of the Attica land. From fresh local meat, such as goat and lamb on the spit, classic souvlaki and famous gyros, to fresh fish and seafood accompanied by fine wines from the vineyards of the Mediterranean. Delicious galaktoboureko and doughnuts with honey complete an unforgettable dining experience. Choose the setting that suits you – a traditional taverna in the mountains, an ouzo by the sea, a modern restaurant with or without Michelin stars, and just enjoy…

Endless choices and activities for powerful experiences and more relaxing moments. Don’t wait – make your bucket list of things you’ve never thought of: press grapes at the harvest festival in the Attica vineyards in September. Catch the Fistiki Festival in Aegina by mid-September and experience the impressive “Armata”, the re-enactment of the 1822 naval battle in Spetses. Join the starting line of the Authentic Athens Marathon in November and run like another Spyros Louis from Marathon to Panathinaikos Stadium. Spend time with your children in the famous parks of Attica. “Fill your lungs with oxygen in the lush green Ymittos or play a relaxed game of golf with friends in Glyfada.
