Parthenon Temple

Overview

Take a trip to Athens on your Greece Vacation

Athens, the mesmerizing capital of Greece, stands as a cradle of civilization, where democracy was born, and the heartbeat of the ancient world once resonated. Today, this vibrant metropolis reigns as the political, social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of Greece. 

Nestled within the prefecture of Attica, Athens sprawls across a peninsula extending toward Central Greece, embraced by mountains to the north and east, while the azure waters of the Saronic Gulf embrace its southern and western edges. The city basks in year-round sunshine, boasting one of Europe's most inviting climates, featuring mild winters and warm summers. Just a stone's throw away lies Piraeus, Athens' bustling port, the epicentre of maritime commerce and a gateway to the captivating Greek islands. 

Archaeological treasures are abundant in this historical haven. The Acropolis, an iconic emblem of Athens, captivates all. This rocky citadel looms majestically over the city, a ubiquitous presence in every corner of the urban landscape. It serves as the paramount testament to ancient Greek culture. The Acropolis's roots reach deep into history, with the earliest inhabited remnants dating back to the Neolithic era. 

As you wander the ancient streets and modern avenues of Athens, you'll find a city that brilliantly bridges the past and present, inviting you to explore its rich heritage, vibrant culture, and the essence of Greece's enduring legacy.

Locals don’t rush—whether it's dinner at 10:00 p.m. or a three-hour coffee. The best way to experience Greece is to match its rhythm and let moments stretch out.

Delphi isn’t just a historical site—it’s deeply spiritual. Standing where the Oracle once spoke, you feel this pulse of ancient energy still alive in the stones

Athens is like a living labyrinth—layered, electric, and full of stories if you know where to look. Once you’ve seen the major landmarks, get lost in places like Psiri and Koulaki for a real local vibe

It’s fairly easy to travel between islands by plane or ferry, but I love renting a dune buggy once I’m there—it’s more fun than taxis.

Ani M was absolutely amazing to work with! I actually chose Goway for our group trip because of her recommendations. She was the only agent who took the time to explain that we really needed to split our travels into two separate trips if we wanted to experience everything on our wish list, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance. Throughout the planning process, Ani was incredibly helpful and answered ALL of my questions, even when I asked the same ones more than once! She was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. I enjoyed working with her and her team so much that I already have another group trip planned with her, and I expect we'll be planning another one soon! The guides during our Scotland trip were wonderful as well. Ian Short was the BEST! He was professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy the experience. He even worked in sightseeing stops we didn't know we needed to see, and those little extras made the trip even better. The entire experience was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I'm already looking forward to our next adventure to Ireland with Goway and working with Ani and their team again!Angela Butler

We recently traveled to Portugal and had the most wonderful experience. As our first venture overseas, we decided to search online for travel assistance. We happened across Goway Travel and are so glad we did! Michael Keon, our Destination Specialist, is extremely proficient and knowledgeable in his profession. "Thorough" is an understatement. He assisted every step of the way from the moment we stepped on our flights, transfer arrangements, hotel accommodations, train travel and multiple tours/outings tailored to our specific needs/wish list. He provided unparalleled guidance and support during the planning process and was always available to discuss any questions/concerns. His communications were always prompt and concise. Without a doubt, our best trip to date...there will be no hesitation to contact Mr. Keon for future travels. Joanna Lynn Mays Michael Andrew Mays Joanna Mays

What made this experience great was Cedric Wai. Had a client going to Asia and this is Cedric's wheelhouse since he is from there. Everything was wonderful. Everything went smoothly. The individual tours were wonderful and all the guides were exceptional. A lot of traveling-the flight was very good on Cathay Pacific would highly recommend their airline seats were comfortable and spaced well. Being on an airplane for 16 hours sucks in general, but other than being a little sore from being stuck in one place all was good. Thank you so much for all your help and the trip was wonderful and everything that it should be! Next trip will be much more relaxing, sitting still for a while on a beach somewhere ha ha!Careen Sullivan

My destination specialist, Katie Stephenson was amazing from the onset. Her customer service, communication style and planning skills was so timely and top notch. Our trip was to Fiji, New Zealand and Australia, from Aug 4-22, 2026. The way she planned and booked the trip makes the experience convenient and enjoyable. The flexibility of payment makes the decision faster and attractive. Everything we need to know including contacts were readily available within our travel documents itinerary. Overall, I'll say it's money well spent and a lifetime experience particularly for my kids.Festus
