Athens4 days 3 nights in Spring
March to MayWeather:
Spring is one of the best times to visit Athens. Temperatures range from 15°C to 25°C, with sunny days and low humidity. March is mild, while April and May are warm but not yet hot. Rain is minimal, and daylight increases, with sunset up to 8:30 PM by May.
Tourist Situation:
Spring is shoulder season in Athens. Crowds are lighter than summer, especially in March, but increase in April and May around Easter and school holidays. Major sites like the Acropolis and museums are busy but manageable.
Restaurants & Cafés:
Outdoor dining is in full swing. Rooftop restaurants, tavernas, and café terraces are popular, especially in Plaka, Monastiraki, Psyrri, and Kolonaki. Fresh spring dishes, seafood, and meze are widely available. Reservations are recommended for rooftop venues.
Transport:
Athens has a reliable metro, bus, and tram system. A 24–72h transport pass is convenient for visitors. Walking is common in the historic center, but expect uneven paths near archaeological sites.
Booking:
Pre-book Acropolis tickets, museums, and popular rooftop restaurants, especially from April to May.
Walking:
Spring weather is ideal for walking. Many attractions are close together, but wear comfortable shoes due to hills, marble paths, and ancient stones.
