A Day in Athens is A Day Trip For The Ages
Mycenae reveals ancient wonders as you explore the narrow walkways of the walled city before visiting Epidaurus, a village famed for its Hellenic theater.
Enjoy breathtaking views of the Acropolis over a meal at GB Roof Garden Restaurant & Bar – part of your stay at Hotel Grande Bretagne, a luxury Collection Hotel, Athens.
After strolling the cobblestone roads of Plaka, head to the fashionable Kolonaki neighborhood, which boasts upscale shops and the Benaki Museum of Greek Culture.
The port of Piraeus harbors its own treasures: Within the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus stands a bronze statue of Athena, and sunset by the water is best enjoyed over local seafood at Varoulko Seaside restaurant.
Gelato in Greece?
You bet. Look no further than Le Greche, where velvety rich gelato is prepared with ingredients such as Cycladic honey and figs from Kalamata.
Step Back In Time
Hop aboard a hydrofoil from Piraeus to the island of Hydra, where you’ll notice that no motor vehicles exist. Be prepared to travel by water taxis, mules and donkeys!

Planning Your Next Trip with Atlas Travel Center
At Atlas Travel Center, we’ve spent over 35 years helping travelers turn ideas like the one in this post into fully realized journeys. Whether you’re reading this as inspiration for a trip you’re already planning or as the first seed of a travel dream, our advisors are here to take it from concept to confirmation — handling every detail along the way.
What sets Atlas apart isn’t just our longevity in the business — it’s the depth of expertise we bring to every booking. Our agents are specialists, not generalists. Many have personal experience at the destinations they recommend, onboard the ships they book, and with the tour operators they partner with. When you work with an Atlas advisor, you’re getting counsel grounded in real experience, not just what’s on a website.
Why Work with a Travel Advisor in the Age of Online Booking?
Online booking tools have made it easier than ever to assemble a trip — and also easier than ever to make an expensive mistake. The lowest price on a comparison site often omits a resort fee, books a room category you wouldn’t choose if you saw the photos, or locks you into a cancellation policy that offers no flexibility. Our advisors know the inventory, the fine print, and the suppliers well enough to navigate all of it on your behalf.
More importantly, when something goes wrong — a flight cancels, a ship changes its itinerary, a resort overbooks — a travel advisor is the difference between hours on hold with an 800 number and a quick call to someone who knows exactly who to call. We’ve been solving those problems for clients since 1987, and we’re very good at it.
