Athens


Why spend Easter in Greece? Aside from the mere reason that you will be in Athens, one of the most beautiful and culturally significant places in the world, it will also offer you a truly unique Easter experience. Among the many different church services and sites you can see and partake in, we recommend going to Agios Georgios (St. George) on Lycabettus.

Here you will become one with Athens as members of the church unite in one sacred purpose – candle in hand, of course! Afterwards you will gaze upon the whole of Athens as the sky lights up with dozens of fireworks! You won't want to miss this jaw-dropping Easter experience!

While many believe Christmas is the most important holiday in the liturgical calendar, it is actually Easter! Religious denominations throughout the world gather during this time to celebrate resurrection of Jesus Christ and salvation. If organized religion isn't your cup of tea, who doesn't enjoy festitivies with cute spring animal decor?

Get into the spirit this coming season by traveling to one of our favorite Easter destinations. From Europe to South America, you're invited to partake in unique celebrations that are deeply rooted in culture, cuisine, and tradition.
