Tip of the day 1/8/2022 – August in Athens

• August 2, 2022

The month of August is the month that most of the locals have their annual holidays, so that the city will be probably empty and most of the shops will be closed. But, I guess if you don’t like crowded places and  cities, and you want to discover a city during your trip without many people around, this is the perfect month to visit Athens. Of course, all touristic places like Monastiraki, Plaka, Acropolis are always open so you won’t missed the most important sights and monuments of the city or some souvenirs shopping or having your breakfast at Anafiotika – and maybe you enjoy it even more.

An important note that you should have in mind is that on August 15th is the biggest orthodox celebration for Greeks, so it is a bank holiday, so that day even transports won’t be really often, shops will be closed, and few people will be around the city. So, plan your trip at any time, and even on August you will really enjoy Athens with many things to do and to see!
