Acropolis Energy+

The substantial five-day respite that awaits us this year, since the Easter holidays are adjacent to those of May Day, give an opportunity not only to residents of Athens to rest and make excursions to the countryside, but also to residents of the countryside to spend mini holidays in Athens. What can they do for so many days in Athens? A lot. Visit the main museums, see the Acropolis, illuminated panoramically at night, relax on terraces and gardens with special views, listening to selected music and enjoying coffee, drinks, light meals or full meals.

Here’s an option:
