Cheap Hotels in Athens - News

Have Fun the Orthodox Way

Athens is a good place to visit at any time of the year, with its warm climate making winter and spring particularly pleasant, not least when the city gets into carnival mode.

The city doesn't do it by half either; the carnival season lasts from February to April, with most events tied into Lent in the Greek Orthodox calendar.

Among many events and occasions, some marked solemnly, some with festive fun, the main carnival weekend, with music, dancing and partying takes place on the weekend of February 16th to the 18th, according to Go Greece.

The weekend features music, traditional dancing, children's entertainment and traditional lent food in a spectacular display of Greek culture.

Apart from the carnival, Athens offers a range of attractions for visitors staying in cheap hotels in the city.

It offers beaches and sunshine, great cultural and historical treasures such as the Acropolis and Parthenon, while having a far better public transport infrastructure than was once the case, a legacy of the 2004 Olympics.
