I highly recommend a day's boat trip to Aegina, Poros and Hydra. You can book that at travel agents in Athens. Or, you can take the Proastiakos train (adjacent to the Metro at Larissa station) and this way you can visit a seaside town of west Attica, such as Nea Peramos with its beautiful marina and seafront with cafes/restaurants. If visiting Nea Peramos by car you can also visit the nearby tiny town of Pahi with its picturesque fish tavernas and the church on the hill with the breathtaking seaviews. Last, with the Proastiakos train you can go further towards Corinth and visit the beautiful seaside town of Kiato. Check out times and fees beforehand if you use the train as well as local taxi company numbers to pick you up from the train station. Failing that, you may have to walk for about 15-20 minutes from the train station to the coast. Hope this helps!What are your favorite places to go for day trips in Athens?
Porto heli is amazing! It has some of the best resorts on the mainlandJust Try to visit Argolis one day tour. The best way is to rent a car Visit Mycenae, Nafplio, Tolo for swimming and the ancient Theater of Epidaurus.
Another your is to visit the ancient Theater and also Porto Heli and Ermioni.
Going to Meteora was one of the best experiences I had while visiting Greece. The walk up was so exhausting but so worth it to see something so beautiful. I really recommend it to everyone visiting the mainland and wanting to learn more about Greek culture and experience nature.There are several trips from Athens.
There are daily trips to Delphi, Sounio, Argolis (that includes Epidaurus and Mycenae), 2 day trips to Meteora and Delphi, Hydra - Poros - Aegina day cruise, Angistri - Moni - Aegina Day Cruise
