Searching for the most romantic things to do in Athens?
Greece isn’t just about ancient ruins — it’s also the perfect city for unforgettable love-filled moments.
Here are some must-visit places for couples:
📍The Acropolis: Views for days. History, architecture, and that once-in-a-lifetime skyline shot — if romance had a backdrop, this would be it.
📍The Athens Planetarium: Hold hands under the stars — literally. One of the world’s largest planetariums = galaxies, constellations, and major soft-launch energy.
📍Lycabettus Hill: Sunset from the top = chef’s kiss. Hike or take the cable car — either way, the views are worth every step.
📍Plaka Neighborhood: Cute cafés, cobblestone streets, pastel houses — AKA strolling-hand-in-hand paradise. Grab gelato and get lost (on purpose).
📍The National Garden: Shaded paths, ponds, flowers, and calm energy — an intimate escape from the city perfect for slow conversations and soft moments.
Save this for your next trip and tag someone you’d explore Athens with 💙
