Table of contents

Book online at Voyage Prive and enjoy a weekend in Athens, a destination bursting with history, culture, beauty and delicious Greek cuisine whilst staying in luxurious accommodation.

Discover the historic sites

Athens is famous worldwide for its Greek history and it's bursting with things to discover. There are three sites on your weekend break you simply cannot miss. Firstly, take a trip to the Parthenon, which defines the glory of ancient Greece. It's the largest Doric temple ever completed in Greece which took fifteenth years to finish. Your next stop should be to the Acropolis which is arguably the most important ancient site in the Western world. It stands proudly over Athens, visible from almost everywhere within the city. Wait for nighttime when its beauty glows. Last, but not least, take a trip to visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus. You shouldn't miss this spot for two reasons: firstly, its sheer size is deeply impressive, making it the largest temple in Greece; secondly, it's right in the middle of Athens.

Indulge in authentic Greek cuisine

After all that magnificent sightseeing, you'll have worked up an appetite. There is no better place to satisfy your cravings than one of the many delicious restaurants in Athens that offer an authentic Greek experience. There are many beautiful places to dine and witness the beautiful temples of Athens lit up behind you. Indulge in traditional mezze, delicious Greek salad, Saganaki for cheese lovers, and Pastitsio. Whatever you choose to eat, we are sure you won't go hungry in Athens. Once you've finished eating, why not enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail at one of the various wine and cocktail bars in the central area. With the shadow of the Parthenon gleaming behind, it's easily navigated by foot and the area showcases some of the best bars in the world.

Relax in the National Gardens

If you want to escape and really find a spot to relax whilst on your weekend break to Athens, then a perfect choice is the National Gardens. This park makes for a beautiful refuge, particularly in the summer when the sunshine can be intense. You can wander around or pack a picnic and relax. Or, tucked amongst the trees is a quaint cafe to enjoy a coffee. There is even a large playground for children, and beautiful ponds filled with ducks and turtles. It's the perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle of Athens and just unwind for a couple of hours.

Whether you're in search of a romantic weekend away with your partner or plan on venturing off with the family, then a weekend in Athens is the perfect spot to suit everyone.

Good starting point for Athens discoveries, especially the breakfast on the roof overlooking the city and the Acropolis have made the start of the day special! Service and staff great, very courteous, but not pushy!

The staff were amazing, but I have to say a special thank you to Alexandra and Maria who went above and beyond to make the trip special. Alexandra took time to help us plan our excursions for each day, make dinner reservations and just ensure that we had a great time in Athens. Maria went above and beyond to help me surprise my friend on the trip and I’m super grateful! I honestly would go back in a heartbeat

Our stay in Athens was so enjoyable at this great Wyndham hotel! From welcoming the adorable staff, to all the high standard services (sauna, gym, hot tub in the rooms and king size bed), everything was spotless. We were even upgraded later. The plus: a large rooftop with a view of all Athens, a pool, and a breakfast buffet at the top. Thanks to Alexandra and the whole team
