Athens 15 August: Two Sides of the Same Coin


The other side of Athens appeared before the eyes of its residents and tourists today, August 15.

The capital resembles a deserted city, as there is practically no traffic on the streets and only public transport, tourist buses and taxis are running. At the same time, since the morning, the traffic in the ports of Attica has increased, but without any problems, for those who decided to leave the capital today for “a little change of scenery”, to escape from the daily bustle.

Residents and visitors of the capital are lucky: there are many places near Athens where you can go for a couple of days and get new impressions. And some cities within 100 km from the capital can be reached quite quickly, so the list of places where you can go for a weekend is quite large.

Just a few kilometers from Athens, you can find everything a tourist's soul desires – beautiful beaches, clear waters, archaeological excavations and delicious Greek cuisine. So why not visit these places, especially on a weekend when everything is closed. Check out the destinations that Greeks prefer for their trips on a special weekend.
