Location: Athens

Accommodation Name: Hotel Achillion or Hotel Fresh

On your arrival at Athens airport (or Piraeus port), a representative will greet you and transfer you to the selected hotel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. Athens has an array of amazing hotels, and this package has the cream of the crop. In the afternoon you simply cannot miss the thrill of watching the sunset from the southernmost tip of Attica. The route from Athens, along the Athenian Riviera, is beautiful; the scenery at Cape Sounio, is breathtaking; the ancient temple of Poseidon, god of the sea, standing on top of the rock, is just majestic. In antiquity, this was an important strategic point, from which the city-state of Athens controlled the sea passage to the Aegean and Piraeus. Evenings here more often than not end with a spontaneous applause to the sun as it dives to the sea.

Overnight in Athens.
