Top tips for Sydney to Athens
Discover Athens’ iconic ruins
Walk along the Plaka and immerse yourself in Greek culture. Wander down narrow alleys, past local cafes and crumbling Greek and Roman ruins.
If the Sydney Harbour Bridge is Sydney’s crowning glory, then the Acropolis is Athens’. The ancient citadel holds the remains of several ancient buildings – the Parthenon most famously – and stands over the city as a stunning celebration of human achievement.
Explore Greece’s natural wonders
Sydney is known for its beaches, but you haven’t seen anything until you’ve dipped into the Aegean Sea. Zip across to a nearby Greek island or take a leisurely trip to a thermally heated lake.
Hike through the slopes of Mount Hymettus or watch the sunset at Cape Sounio – in Athens, nature’s greatest treasures are on your doorstep.
