Luxury Holidays to Athens

Athens is ancient yet forward-looking, grand yet intimate. As the birthplace of democracy and philosophy, and a contemporary capital alive with creative energy, it offers a richly layered experience. For many, a journey through Greece begins or ends in Athens – and with Lightfoot Travel, it’s a seamless blend of past and present, where world-famous ruins, exceptional cuisine, boutique or grand hotels, and meaningful experiences come together.

The Best of Athens

Let our experts craft an Athens itinerary that captures the essence of the city. Walk in the footsteps of Socrates and Pericles as you ascend the Acropolis with a private guide, then pause for sundowners on a quiet rooftop, the Parthenon glowing in the dusk light. Meander through the neoclassical lanes of Plaka, explore independent galleries in Kolonaki, or uncover low-key wine bars tucked into the city’s quieter corners.

From curated visits to the Benaki and Museum of Cycladic Art to contemporary dining in neighbourhood tavernas, we go beyond the guidebooks to show you a more personal side of Athens. The city also pairs beautifully with the Cyclades or the Peloponnese – a natural starting point or an elegant finale to your Greek journey.
