Athens Activities

Here’s something that surprised me when I first started spending time in Greece: this country has been making wine for over 6,500 years. That’s longer than anywhere else in Europe. And yet most visitors order a beer or an ouzo and never think twice about the wine. Their loss, honestly. Greek wines — especially the indigenous varieties you literally can’t find anywhere else — are some of the most interesting I’ve ever tasted. And the best part? Some of the finest wine regions are just an hour or two from Athens.
