17 Best Things to Do in Athens, From Hitting the Beach to Gazing at Ruins
As one of the world's oldest cities, there's no surprise at the sheer amount of things to do in Athens—the destination is a master of reinvention. After a dark decade on the brink of Grexit, Athens has morphed into southern Europe's capital of cool. Long weekenders are swooping in to check out the exciting food scene and check into the new wave of cool hotels in Athens. Artists and designers are settling in for good, lured by affordable rents, the promise of sunshine, and an anarchic spirit where you don't have to play by the rules. There's nothing orderly about Athens: traffic is chaotic, life is messy, the architecture a mash-up of Byzantine and Bauhaus, neoclassical and nondescript. The Parthenon still dominates the skyline—and will forever be one of the key things to do in Athens—but for most Athenians the antiquities embedded among tightly packed apartment blocks are an afterthought. It's in the graffitied backstreets and café-lined squares, the factories converted into galleries, bars hidden in arcades, and secret coves for skinny dipping where the heartbeat of Athens is racing. Beyond the classics, these are the best things to do in Athens.

Scouting Trips: Designers Channel Summer Memories With Merit Badges and Medals
Empty desks and OOO messages indicate that we're officially approaching corporate midsummer. Office talk might already be turning toward fall planning, but our daydreams continue to be escapist, and often nostalgic with summer memories. In applying scout-like badges and merit pins to clothes, and using beribboned medals as accessories to their fall 2025 and spring 2026 collections, designers seem to be saying, 'We know what you did that long-ago summer,' back when life was simpler, and the authority figure was a camp counselor rather than a CEO.
