Visiting Athens with Sixt rent a car
Renting a car with Sixt also allows you the ultimate flexibility when travelling outside of the city and visiting the surrounding areas. Many car rental agencies will drop your hire car off at your hotel and collect it from there when you're ready to return it. This is the ultimate convenience and means you don't need to travel around an unfamiliar city trying to find your car hire company. If you're flying into Athens, you can also arrange for your hire car to be waiting for you at the airport when you arrive in the city. The main advantage of hiring a car in Athens is that it allows you to fully explore the city and its surroundings. The historical sites of Delphi are a popular daytrip from Athens and travelling by car will allow you to spend as long as you want in this fascinating town. Nearby Marathon is also a must-see and is just a short journey from Athens by hire car. The birthplace of the modern marathon running event, the town has an important place in history. It's also home to a stunning beach, making it the perfect destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Athens for a while. There are several other beautiful beaches within a short drive of Athens. The spectacular sandy beaches of Vouliagmeni are just 10 miles from the city and provide the ideal setting for a day of rest and relaxation before heading back to the bright lights of Athens.
