Cheap London - Athens Flights

To travel between London and Athens at a low cost, Easyvoyage provides two major pieces of information: the calendar and the price history for London - Athens flights. These elements will allow you to analyse the cheapest London - Athens flights by departure date.

Sightseeing Athens 1 The National Archaeological Museum

Widely known for its antiquities, no trip to Greece is complete without a trip to this world class museum. The museum boasts 64 galleries including a war museum and a large jewellery collection. The most fascinating exhibit is the Antikithera device, a 2,000 year old system of gears that was the world's first working computer. Be sure to plan your trip so that you visit the museum between Monday and Saturday. Most of the museum's galleries are closed on Sundays.

2 The Parthenon

Every art history student knows about the cultural significance of the Parthenon. Climb the steps of this ancient wonder and gaze down on Athens from the same vantage point held by the ancient Greek philosophers. While you're there, check out the carvings and sculptures that adorn the monument.

3 The Byzantine Museum

The museum holds over 15,000 objects from a time spanning the fall of the Roman Empire to the mid-fifteenth century. These beautifully ornate artefacts were created mostly for the Greek Orthodox Church and show the richly extravagant nature of eastern Christianity.

4 The beaches

Athens boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Lie in the sun and relax in front of the beautiful blue of the Mediterranean Sea. The waters are perfect for windsurfing, boating and swimming.

5 The food

No trip to Athens is complete without enjoying some authentic Greek cuisine. Dine outdoors on the fresh seafood, roasted lamb and simple vegetables that are staples of the Greek diet.

Required travel documents for Greece

Before departing on a flight between London and Athens, ensure that your passport is valid and will not expire during your trip. Greece does not require British citizens to have a visa before entering the country but other nationals should check with their local Greek consulate concerning visa regulations. Once in Athens, you will quickly find that it lives up to its reputation as the "cradle of western civilization". After visiting historic sites like the Parthenon, the National Archaeological Museum and the Byzantine Museum, be sure to enjoy the incredible beaches and restaurants.
