Athens

Athens can be reached from Bergamo with a flight of about two and a half hours. Eleftherios Venizelos Airport is more than thirty kilometers from the city center and is Greece’s main airport, a hub for all domestic connections and a gateway to Attica and the Greek islands. Flight availability is high, which makes it easy to find both low-cost fares and good last-minute deals. The Greek capital offers an extraordinary concentration of ancient history and Mediterranean life. The Acropolis towers over the city with the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Caryatids, a complex that represents the heart of Classical Athens. At the foot of the hill lies the Acropolis Museum, a modern glass structure that houses the site’s original finds and lets you view archaeological excavations through transparent floors. Plaka and Monastiraki form the city’s most picturesque historic fabric, with lanes, tavernas, markets, and Byzantine and Ottoman remnants intertwined with the lively atmosphere of the present.

On the eastern coast lies Poliochni, one of Europe’s oldest urban settlements, with Neolithic and Bronze Age remains.

Skiathos

The connection from Bergamo takes about two hours and lands at one of Greece’s most scenic airports, four kilometers from the town. The airport is small but strategic for the entire Sporades archipelago, because from here you can also easily reach Skopelos and Alonissos by ferry. Direct flights are seasonal and not particularly frequent, so low-cost is possible but last-minute remains inconsistent, with often marked price swings in the central weeks of summer. Skiathos alternates spectacular nature and typically Greek atmospheres. The long bay of Koukounaries, framed by pine forest and opening onto clear turquoise water, is one of the Aegean’s best-known shorelines. Inland, the Monastery of Evangelistria holds a key role in the history of Greek independence and today is a quiet panoramic place to discover monastic traditions and local products. Chora, finally, is a concentration of Mediterranean vitality, with white alleys, a small port facing the Aegean, and the Bourtzi peninsula that offers one of the best sunset viewpoints.

Zakynthos

The flight from Bergamo takes under two hours and lands five kilometers from the capital, at an airport that handles intense tourist traffic in summer while remaining quiet the rest of the year. Low-cost opportunities exist but follow the seasonal pattern, and last-minute deals are not reliable because available seats fill up quickly in peak months. The island offers a mix of spectacular scenery and small traditional towns. Navagio Beach, reachable only by boat, is Zakynthos’ iconic image thanks to turquoise waters and the shipwreck on white sand framed by high cliffs. In Bochali you can climb for views over the port and the town, strolling among pines and jasmine up to the remains of the Venetian castle that dominates the bay. Along the northwestern coast, the Blue Caves open up, famous for the intense hues created by light filtering through the water and visitable by small boats departing from Agios Nikolaos.
