Athens during Holiday season - Tips for visitors, even if planning last minute

One day left until Christmas. What are you doing this year? Here are a few tips, to experience Athens, even if you plan to visit the city last minute this festive season..

  1. Shopping in the southern suburbs of Athens:  Visit the Metro Mall Athens in Agios Dimitrios.  The mall is decorated wonderfully with the right touch of Christmas cheer for all ages to enjoy.  Don’t forget to stop by and see Santa Claus.
  2. More shopping just around the corner of the Astir Palace Resort. Visit Glyfada for all your last minute holiday shopping needs.
  3. Still undecided about where to dine on Christmas or New Years’ Day?  Take advantage of our family offer where children up to 10 years old dine for free and for ages 11-17 receive 50% off our sumptuous buffet.  Amazing holiday setting with one of a kind views to the sea creating a memorable warm holiday atmosphere.

  4. Ring in the New Year at the cosmopolitan city of Athens!  Visit any one of the finest pastry shops located all over the city to enjoy traditional Holiday Greek delights.  Don’t miss out on filling your bellies with “Kourambiedes” the almond cookie dosed and covered with powdered sugar, “Melomakarona” the honey dipped cookie topped with walnuts and “Diples” the honey dipped pastry dough delight sprinkled with crushed walnuts.
  5. Athens, the city to celebrate your Holiday season combined with catching up on its rich heritage.  Enjoy the delights of the festive activities in the city center while taking advantage of a trip down “Museum Mile”. A great way to learn about Athens’ long history, ‘Museum Mile’ starts at Syntagma Square, moving along Vassilissis Sophias Avenue. There you will find the Benaki Museum, Museum of Cycladic Art, Byzantine Museum and the War Museum.  

 

Merry Christmas!
