Athens: A City and Beach Break in One
Why choose between a city or a beach break when you can have it all? Just an hours drive from Athens and you arrive at the stunning beach resort of Cape Sounio. Enjoy the best of both worlds with a trip to Greece's capital city.

As Autumn becomes ever closer, do you still like the thought of getting away from the UK for a few days?
Maybe you're thinking about a city break or perhaps you want to lie on a beach in the sunshine for a few days.
Well, good news. I've got a way you can do both, with no need to choose between a city or beach break. Pack your suitcase, we're off to Athens.
There hasn't been a better time to visit Greece's capital city. Since the Olympic Games were held here in 2004 the city has seen a massive transformation and huge amounts of investment has made it an impressive and exciting city to visit this coming autumn, when the temperatures will start to cool off slightly.
Athens has been in the spotlight rather a lot recently so you may well already be tempted to come and see the city for yourself. But, what you may not know is that just an hours drive away from this bustling city is a serene and stunning place waiting to be enjoyed.
Hire a car, head out of the city towards the stunning coastal roads and you'll arrive at Cape Sounio Bay. Where sandy beaches meet crystal clear waters and ancient Greek ruins, meet stylish hotels.
You don't need to choose between hustle and bustle and pure tranquillity, let me show you how you can have it all.
