While there is so much to Greece – the history, culture, incredible beaches, stunning landscapes, delicious food, and much more besides – and lots of excellent destinations to choose, if you have found a vacation rental in Greece, many are going to want to pay a visit to her capital, Athens. Athens is an astounding place where ancient and modern worlds collide and there is a wealth of things to see and do. However, in addition to all of this, it has also been named by Lonely Planet as one of their Best In Travel 2020 Best Value Destinations.
Greece, in general, can be a very budget-friendly holiday destination when done correctly and Athens is no exception to the rule. Lonely Planet note that there are lots of things to do in the city for free and that those activities that do require payment in order to enter often only charge rather modest sums in order to visit lots of the most popular sites, including the amazing Acropolis Museum. In addition to actually visiting the city’s famous and iconic landmarks, they recommend admiring them from various points in the city, which can be just as, if not more, magical: “you can gawp at the Parthenon itself from various vantage points for nothing. In fact, admiring the glowing Acropolis at night is one of the most magical experiences in Europe, let alone Greece.”
