What to do in Athens:
If you need a break from chasing ruins and looking for what to do in Athens, a short drive south of the city will get you to The House Project.
Spend the day in what is designed to feel like an oversized beach house with large open spaces. Inside you’ll find a library, games room and outdoor playground for small children. The décor is bright and welcoming with big oversized armchairs and by the end of the day, you’ll be wishing you could take this luxurious all in one venue home with you.

And it’s not just happy time for families on offer. Head outside for a more party like atmosphere, with great music overlooking the beach, with a well-staffed bar and café.

Sun beds are placed on Asteras beach which are available for a small fee. You should get in early, particularly on weekends.
A great escape to recharge the batteries and is open all day and night.
Why Athens Tip: The House Project is located in a seaside complex. Next door at the original Balux, you can spend the day by an adults only pool.
