As the summer high season will have already kicked in by the time of the wedding, we strongly recommend that you book your flights as early as possible.
There is only one airport servicing Athens, the 'Eleftherios Venizelos' international airport, where both budget and full-service airlines fly to.
Accommodation options in Athens are plenty, ranging from the city centre to the riviera and the suburbs. You can find some accommodation guides below with indicative hotel suggestions.
Be it a hotel room or an Airbnb flat, our recommendation is to book someplace close to the city centre, such as Syntagma, Monastiraki, Thissio and Plaka. This will allow for much easier commuting, while there is an abundance of options for sightseeing, as well as restaurants and bars.
From fine dining to street food, and everything in between, you will be able to find something to satisfy your appetite at any time of the day (or the night, as a matter of fact).
You can always start your day with a cold coffee (frappé, freddo espresso, freddo cappuccino) and some 'sfoliata' (puff pastry, such as tiropita or spanakopita), grab a 'souvlaki' (Greek wrap) on the go for lunch while sightseeing, and eventually dine in a 'taverna' (traditional restaurant) with live music. Kali oreksi!
Below are some indicative guides.
July is typically a rather warm month in Greece, and who doesn't fancy a cold cocktail during summer?
