Things to do in Attica

Mediterranean low hills ring Athens and spill to the Saronic Gulf; mild, breezy winters and searing, dry summers dominate. Athenians paddle-board dawn laps beneath the Acropolis, road-bike the coastal Vouliagmeni loop, clip limestone at Párnitha after work and island-hop to Aegina or Hydra for weekend sailing, freediving and trail-running.
