Athens is the oldest capital in Europe, and it wears its history in plain sight — the Parthenon crowning the Acropolis above a sprawling, sun-bleached city of nearly four million. Democracy, philosophy, and theatre were born on these hills, and their monuments still stand among the streets below.
But the modern city is no museum. Beneath the ancient rock, neighbourhoods like Koukaki and Kolonaki hum with rooftop bars, contemporary galleries, and a dining scene that has quietly become one of the Mediterranean's best. Athens is also the gateway to the islands — the Cyclades and the Saronic Gulf are a short flight or sail away.
Athens balances three thousand years of history with a restless contemporary energy. What follows is a closer look at the monuments, the food, and the island gateway that make the city more than a stop on the way to the sea.

Athenian dining runs from the timeless to the cutting-edge. Spend an evening at a traditional taverna over grilled fish, horta, and a carafe of local wine, or book one of the modern rooftop tables looking straight at the floodlit Acropolis. The city's markets — above all the Varvakios — are a spectacle in themselves, and its coffee culture rivals anywhere in Europe.
Few capitals have a coastline like this. The Athens Riviera runs south from the centre along the Saronic Gulf — beach clubs, marinas, and seafood tavernas, all within half an hour of the Acropolis.

South of the centre, the coast unspools into the Athens Riviera — Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and the cliffs of Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon watches the sunset over the Aegean. The marinas here launch the yachts that make Athens a natural starting point for the islands.
It is a city that lets you stand among ancient ruins in the morning and swim in the Saronic Gulf by afternoon, without ever leaving the metropolitan edge.
Athens is where the island journeys begin. Mykonos, Santorini, and the Cyclades are all a short flight away — and the PC-12 reaches the smaller island airstrips that larger jets cannot.
From Athens, the whole of the Aegean opens up. Mykonos is around thirty-five minutes by air, Santorini about forty — and the PC-12's short-field ability means access to island airstrips closed to heavier aircraft.
Many clients use Athens as a hub: business or history in the capital, then a short hop to a villa or yacht in the islands, all on a single day's schedule.
Athens International Airport (ATH), Eleftherios Venizelos, is the country's principal gateway and a well-equipped base for private aviation. Dedicated FBOs and a general-aviation terminal handle private arrivals with discretion, offering executive lounges and direct ramp access. From here the whole of Greece is within reach — the mainland, the Peloponnese, and above all the islands, many of which the PC-12 can serve directly on their shorter runways.
Hans Jet operates direct private charter flights to Athens International Airport on the Pilatus PC-12 — connecting Greece to major European cities and the islands with guaranteed availability and occupied hours only billing.
A private jet from Mykonos to Athens takes around thirty-five minutes on the Pilatus PC-12 — the quickest and most flexible link between the island and the mainland. In peak season, when ferries are slow and scheduled flights are full, it is the reliable way to connect a villa on Mykonos with the capital, or with an onward flight to Europe. The PC-12 handles the island's airport with ease and lands you at the Athens FBO minutes from your onward car.
One-way charter pricing for the Mykonos to Athens route starts from €5,900, with guaranteed availability through the busy summer months across the Cyclades.
