We also provide a number of other family tours and activities in and around Athens. One tour that we highly recommend, is to see the sunset at the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio. You can even have a Stargazing Experience there. More active families might want to really get into the spirit of things and try the Olympic Games Workout.

In our opinion, Electra Palace Athens Hotel is a great hotel for families with kids aged 7 and higher. Situated in a vibrant area of Athens, and surrounded by things to see and do, it is perfect for families who want to experience both the historic and contemporary sides of this fascinating city.
