In fact, it is one of the most important archaeological sites near Athens. Also, it was the European Capital of Culture 2023.
It could be one of your choices as a day trip from Athens if you want something beyond the usual. You should visit the archaeological site, you will have your lunch at Lefteris-Fish restaurant, a place where you can always find some fresh and tasteful fish, and if it’s summer, you could attend some cultural event at the local festival and then you return in Athens after a full day.
