The 500 km journey takes 5 to 5.5 hours via the E75/A1 motorway heading south through the Thessalian Plain, past the Vale of Tempe, Mount Olympus (Greece's highest peak), Larissa, and the Thermopylae pass — retracing some of the most storied routes of Greek history.

About Athens

Athens is the birthplace of democracy, philosophy, and Western drama — a 3,400-year-old city crowned by the Acropolis and its magnificent Parthenon. The new Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Panathenaic Stadium (site of the first modern Olympics) are essential ancient sites. Modern Athens thrives in the vibrant neighborhoods of Plaka, Monastiraki (with its famous flea market), Exarchia (bohemian and street art), and Psyrri (restaurants and nightlife). The Athenian Riviera beaches, sunset from Lycabettus Hill, and the legendary Greek food scene — souvlaki, mezze, fresh seafood — complete the picture.
