Destination: Athens

Athens is scattered with parks and gardens, and during the Summer months, many local Athenians would be seen taking picnics in the gardens. Most of these gardens feature children's playgrounds. Take the cable car up Mount Likavitos to see the views over the city and watch the children explore the paths up top, or take a trip to one of the Athens' theme parks, or tire them out on the go-kart track!

During the Winter months, you could head to one of the children's museums dotted around the city, or go for a spot of star gazing at the world's finest planetarium.
