August is the traditional holiday month for most Greeks. Every year, after mid July, the mood becomes cheerful and lazy and conversations revolve around holidays, islands, accommodation rates and ferry ticket bookings.

This summer however, is a strange one. With incomes slashed, jobs lost and taxes skyrocketing, uncertainty about the future is creeping among the population. It is estimated that this August many Athenians will chose to (or have to) stay in the city. This is good news for visitors, as - unlike in previous years - they will be able to enjoy an almost fully functional capital.

Having said that, it is highly recommended that you call up restaurants and bars before your visit, especially around the 15th as most of them will be closed for at least a few days.

That shouldn’t worry you as you can take a break from your typical urban vacation and sightseeing to spend a day or two by the sea. Our Athens beaches feature will help you pick the right one for you.

And if you have days to spend outside Athens, pick one of our favourite less known Greek islands and enjoy a truly relaxing holiday in the Aegean Sea.
