Sports and leisure activities - Athens - Grèce in 2025

Practical information : Move & Laze around Athens

Budget & Tips

Taking part in the Athens Marathon is a great opportunity to get to know the Greek capital and its history, and for very little money! The beaches close to the city are free, but if you're planning to spend the day there, opt for a deckchair and parasol, which are often not unaffordable but often have to be paid for.

What's very local

Between all its archaeological sites, museums and galleries, Athens offers visitors many activities not to be missed! The saunas, the National Garden and the open-air swimming pools of the major hotels are real oases during your stay. The hills around the city center, such as Lycabette, are ideal for contemplating the Greek capital, especially at sunset.

Your documents please

Identification is required when renting a vehicle, but an international driving license is usually sufficient. The same applies to boat rentals. The vehicles offered for hire are in fairly good condition, but we advise you to check the general state of repair before accepting the keys and, above all, to agree on the type and cost of insurance. Scuba diving clubs around Athens are obliged to ask for a health certificate when you sign up, but sometimes they don't take this seriously. So be responsible, because your safety is at stake.

To be booked

It's a good idea to book your favorite activity through an agency or directly on the websites.
