Athens – Drive Beyond Limits
Landing in Athens during summer feels like stepping into a living postcard—sun-washed marble, the scent of orange blossoms in the air, and ancient wonders bathed in golden light. With Drive365 Car Rental, you don’t just arrive—you set off on a journey through history, coastlines, culture, and hidden corners that many travelers never get to see. Freedom is at your fingertips. The road is yours.
Where History Meets the Heat of Summer
Pick up your Drive365 car at Athens International Airport and drive straight into the past—without sacrificing a moment of modern comfort. Head to the Acropolis early, before the heat rises, and watch the Parthenon glow as the city wakes up. Cool off with an iced freddo cappuccino in nearby Anafiotika, a Cycladic-style village hidden on the slopes of the Acropolis.
From there, cruise through the historic center, passing neoclassical mansions, ancient agoras, and bustling local markets. Drive365 ensures smooth navigation through the city’s compact streets, giving you easy access to every corner of the capital.
Quick Summer Escapes: Coastal Drives & Cool Dives
Need a break from the buzz? Athens is the only capital in Europe with beaches minutes from the center. In less than 30 minutes, Drive365 gets you from downtown to the Athenian Riviera.

A City for the Curious
Explore Plaka at golden hour when the light hits the pastel buildings just right. Wander Psiri by night for ouzo, live music, and unforgettable street food. Feeling adventurous? Drive up to Filopappou Hill for panoramic views or head to Exarchia to experience the pulse of underground Athens.
Drive365 gives you the freedom to chase curiosity—to park in places others miss, to take the scenic route, to find the city’s hidden soul.
