You probably already know about its must-see museums and malls, but don't forget that Athens has some pleasant natural sights too.

We hope you factored in Athens' numerous shopping centres when you set out your holiday budget! A spree at Georgia Square Mall and J&J Flea Market could put a dent in your wallet if you're not careful. If you can browse all of that without draining your bank account, continue onwards to Tanger Outlets and Barrow Crossing Shopping Centre.
For a great night out, see what's on at 40 Watt Club. If nothing catches your eye there, peruse the guide at The Georgia Theatre.
It's better to look back on your life and say, 'Can you believe I did that?' rather than, 'I wish I had done that.'
