The hordes of tourists from the summer months have mainly headed for home at this stage leaving shorter lines at various attractions around the city. The weather is also cooler which of course can be a plus or negative depending on your preference.

Many people prefer the downtime busy cities such as Athens experience in these months. For others it was simply not possible to get away during the summer months so they have had to wait until now for their annual holiday.

An important advantage of visiting Athens in the Autumn/Winter time is the substantial savings available on items such as accommodation, car hire and flights.

Athens car hire is available all year round at very competitive rates. There is a superior choice of car available due to lesser demand during off peak periods. Booking early is still advised in order to secure your preferred Athens hire car.
