Athens is the historic capital of Greece, where ancient ruins like the Acropolis rise above a busy modern Mediterranean city. It blends classical heritage with lively neighbourhoods, vibrant street life, excellent food, and easy access to the Greek islands. Climb to the Acropolis at golden hour and 2,500 years of history will unfold right beneath your feet!

When to go

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer warm, pleasant weather and thinner crowds, making them ideal. Summer is hot and very busy, especially around the major sites, while winter is mild and quiet but cooler and occasionally rainy.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

Reaching Athens from eastern Canada usually involves one or more connections, often through Toronto, Montreal, or a European hub, with limited seasonal nonstop service from the largest cities. Expect a layover and a full travel day depending on your departure city. These eastbound flights are typically overnight, arriving the next day.

Good to know before you go

Greece uses the euro, and cards are widely accepted, though small cash is handy for markets and tavernas. The metro is clean, cheap, and efficient for reaching major sites (and it links straight to the airport), while central neighbourhoods are best explored on foot, with the Uber app handy to summon a metered taxi; a car is more trouble than it's worth downtown given tight traffic and parking. Summer heat means you should carry water and visit ruins early, Greeks are welcoming, and a few words of Greek are appreciated.
