Magical autumn in Athens

It may be the perfect time of year, in the perfect place……
For the romantics among us, it’s the ideal time of year. For others, it’s an opportunity to seek out activities and new places with a cosy atmosphere to brighten up their days and nights on the town.
Invigorating walks in nature, a cup of hot chocolate, an appetite (!) for a meal, theatre performances and interesting art exhibitions are just some of the reasons to get into the fall spirit.
Fall is all about having a good time, so we have put together our favourite tips to help you look forward to the months ahead.
The best way to enjoy the weekends in the fall is to take short trips to the local area. You do not have to travel far to visit the Syrou forest with friends or family, which is located near Kifisias Avenue on the border between Kifisia and Melisson. This unique forest of exceptional natural beauty is also home to ancient ruins. It is a great place for walking, outdoor exercise, jogging, cycling or walking pets.
A visit to Athens in the fall is not possible without a visit to the theatre. If you are a theatre lover, make sure you find out about the new season well in advance and don’t forget that this is also the time when the new art collections open.
Finally, in the heart of Athens there are small, atmospheric, windy streets that are so inviting and warm that any visitor to the city will feel right at home.
Autumnal Athens is waiting for you.
