Description

Discover Athens in October with a comfortable direct flight from SWISS – return flights from just CHF 110. Autumn is a particularly pleasant time to travel: Temperatures are usually still mild, the sun often shines, and the major sights can be explored at a more leisurely pace than during the hot summer months.

Look forward to world-famous highlights such as the Acropolis with the Parthenon, the ancient Agora site and the impressive Acropolis Museum. Afterwards, stroll through the winding alleys of Plaka, discover the lively Monastiraki district or enjoy the view from Lycabettus Hill over the city’s rooftops to the sea.

Athens also has plenty to offer in terms of cuisine: traditional tavernas, modern rooftop bars, small cafés and bustling markets make the Greek capital an ideal destination for a varied city break.
