On your last day in Greece, take time to indulge in shopping at Athens’s popular marketplace, Kolonaki. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.
Before you conclude your road trip in Greece, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Athens.
Treat yourself to a delicious dinner at Cafe Boheme Barbagiannis, an excellent option for tonight's dining. Looking for something different? Buena Vista Social Bar offers a tantalizing alternative with its diverse menu. And don’t miss Alexander The Great.
You’ll then say farewell to Athens. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Greece!
