We will be arriving in Athens with the cruise, and we recommend staying here for the first 3 nights (June 13th–16th) to wrap up our journey together before continuing on to explore more of Greece - or heading off on new adventures. Athens is the perfect place to end the cruise, offering a mix of ancient wonders, vibrant city life, and incredible food, all within a walkable, energetic atmosphere. We will be hosting informal meetups here - exact dates and locations will be added closer to departure.
Below, you’ll find some highlights we recommend checking out during your stay.
Psiri – The heart of Athens
Staying in Psiri is the perfect choice for our group - it’s just a short walk from Monastiraki Square, right in the heart of Athens with easy access to historical landmarks, trendy rooftop bars with Acropolis views, and incredible food.
This area is ideal for exploring Athens while staying connected with the community. Whether you want to sip coffee at a charming café, browse artisan shops, or dive into Athens' legendary nightlife, Psiri has it all - with a fun, walkable atmosphere that makes every moment an adventure.
To book your accommodation, we recommend looking around on Airbnb, or staying at **Central Apartments in Psiri or Urban Nest - Suites & Apartments**. For more details, check out the Recommended Hotels (Book Now) section of the guide.
