There has been a lot said about Athens lately. Probably you are thinking of whether you should finally visit the Greek capital this summer, what’s going on here and if you are going to face any difficulties during your stay in the city. Well, yes, it’s true: the situation in Athens and the whole country is challenging. Actually it’s very challenging. But this is only for Greeks and is no way related to you and your trip.

Visiting Athens this summer, you will realise that despite the crisis, there is nothing to disturb you from having a great time in the city.

Below are 10 reasons why you should visit Athens this summer:

1. Athens is safe.
Despite the admitted economic, political and social turbulence, the city is very peaceful. Do not expect to witness any violence or dangerous situations in the streets of Athens.

6. The level of tourism services remains as high as always.
Greeks have relied economically on tourism and have been living a life with the country’s visitors for many decades now. Thus, not only have they developed very high capabilities in the hospitality industry, but the high level of services is considered to be given, is offered effortlessly and is not influenced by what happens in Greeks’ lives. In Athens you can expect to be served by cheerful people, who are there for you with a true sense of responsibility for your holidays.

7. There are plenty of cultural activities to enjoy.
Cultural life goes on with many acitivities to do and events to attend. A positive surprise coming out of the crisis is that since many Athenians do not have the opportunity to go out of the city for summer vacations, this year there are more live performances organized than ever before!

8. Athens offers the easiest and fastest connections with the Greek islands.
Greek islands are famous for being a top choice for summer vacations and this is independent of the economic situation of the country. The most recommended way to visit the islands and at the same time make the most out of your visit in Greece is to stay in Athens for a few days and head to one or more islands immediately before or after that. You can choose among planes, ferries or sailing boats, as Athens is perfectly connected with the whole country.

9. Forget the traffic jam and the hectically busy places!
Due to the shock in the economy, caused by the latest developments, Athenians don’t go out as much, making the city relatively quiet, with very few cars on the streets. Of course the cafés, bars and restaurants remain very lively, as this city simply cannot be emptied, but it’s not as crazy, which makes it perfect for your city break!

10. The sun keeps shining in the Athenian sky.
