A secluded cove in the northern coast of Marjan Forest Park, Bene Beach doesn't resemble the sandy Croatian beaches but boasts its one-of-a-kind charm. A long excursion through the forest will lead you to its pebbly seafront, where you can rest your feet in the clear water surrounded by untouched nature. A restaurant is also located a few steps away.

For a nice walk or picnic a bit outside the busy streets and squares of central Athens, you can head to the Philopappos Hill. It offers a great view over the city and maybe the best view of the Acropolis, just far enough to embrace it all while avoiding the tourists crowd and close enough to see the beauty of its architecture.

This open-air festival in the heart of the city boasts all genres that you can think of, and many activities and events for people of all ages.
