Destination guide
Athens: The Acropolis and the gateway to the islands
Athens has grown into a major transatlantic gateway, with nonstops from New York, Newark, Boston, Chicago, Washington, Philadelphia and Atlanta in summer. The Acropolis, the food and ferries or short flights to Santorini, Mykonos and Crete make it a two-in-one trip.
Best time to visit: April–June and September–October are warm and manageable; the sea is swimmable May–October. July–August is very hot (100°F+) and crowded; winter is mild, quiet and cheap.
