City guide
Visiting Athens in March
March brings longer daylight and warming spring sunshine. Wildflowers bloom between ancient marble ruins across the Agora.
Athens sprawls across the sun-drenched Attica basin in southern Greece, cradled by mountains and looking out toward the Saronic Gulf. The historic cradle of Western philosophy and democracy is anchored by the rocky plateau of the Acropolis and the iconic marble columns of the Parthenon.
- From the airport
- Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is located 33 kilometres east of the city. Metro Line 3 (Blue) runs directly to central Syntagma Square and Monastiraki in 40 minutes. The 24-hour express bus X95 connects directly to Syntagma. Official taxis to central Athens have a daytime flat rate of roughly 40 euros.
- Getting around
- A broad, pedestrian-only archaeological promenade links all primary ancient monuments around the base of the Acropolis. The 3-line metro system is clean, air-conditioned, and displays ancient artifacts discovered during excavations right inside station concourses. For sweeping city panoramas, take the funicular railway up Mount Lycabettus.
