Cheap flights to Athens

Athens is a city emerging from the smog to regain a place on travellers' must-see lists befitting the seat of civilisation. Where, just a few years ago, those arriving from Athens flights were often overwhelmed by the dirt, pollution and noise of the city, extensive renovation for the 2004 Olympics has cleaned up the city and its wonders are once again recognised. Cars have been banned from the centre of town, so the ancient pedestrianised walkways are once again enjoyed on foot. Of course, most travellers who book flights to Athens are here to see the Parthenon and the surrounding Acropolis. Cleaned up and still under renovation, these mighty ruins are ceaselessly awe-inspiring. The modern day city is cosmopolitan and lively, with numerous bars, cafés and restaurants to while away the hours. Athens is well connected to the rest of Greece, including the many beautiful islands, so cheap Athens flights can be the start of a glorious summer holiday.
