Athens from Nice, Oct 23–25: $806 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- One-stop ITA flight of 4h 25m at $312 per person
- ANDIE Kallithea Filaretou scores 9.2 from 18 reviews, $77 a night
- Highs of 70–74°F, with rain chances of 13% to 19%
The catch: It's one stop and lands after midnight, and a checked bag, about $160 for two, isn't in the total.
Worth it if a short city weekend of ruins and food suits you; skip it if a late Friday arrival will ruin your Saturday.
Worth it if you don't mind a late arrival: Athens for the weekend comes to $806 for two, all in. That's the flights at $624 plus 2 nights at ANDIE Kallithea Filaretou at $154, with taxes, fees and the $28 property fee included, for Oct 23–25, 2026. You fly ITA with one stop, not nonstop.

Why now
Here are the numbers: $806 for two, all in, for 2 nights in Athens next weekend. The fare is $312 per person, the same as the median of our 9 earlier checks on this route, so it's a fair price rather than a markdown. Earlier checks did dip to $241 per person, and prices move, so we can't promise this one will hold. The forecast has highs of 70–74°F and lows of 57°F, with rain chances between 13% and 19%. It's overcast Friday and Saturday, and Sunday may bring a drizzle. That's comfortable walking weather for the Acropolis and the hills, without summer heat or crowds. Athens is 945 miles from Nice and only 1 hour ahead, so you won't feel any jet lag over a weekend. It's a good fit for two people who want history by day and mezze by night.
The kind of trip this is
A city break built on history and food. You walk up to ancient temples in the morning, browse the markets and street art in the afternoon, and finish with mezze, ouzo and rooftop bars at night. It suits couples and friends who like to stay on their feet and eat well. The pace is brisk, since with 2 nights you'll want to pick one or two big sights and leave the rest to wandering.

Where to stay in Athens
We priced three places to stay. ANDIE Kallithea Filaretou is the best value: a One-Bedroom Apartment in Kallithea, Athens, at $154 for the stay ($77 a night), rated 9.2 from 18 reviews. It's the hotel counted in the $806. Anthem Suites & Spa is the top rated, at 9.5 from 184 reviews, with a Superior Double Room in Kallimarmaro for $326 ($163 a night). Ancient Agora Plaka is a Superior Queen Room in Monastiraki, rated 7.8 from 792 reviews, at $310 ($155 a night). It puts you in Plaka / Monastiraki, the old quarter under the Acropolis, with markets and rooftop views right outside. If you want local cafés near the Acropolis Museum, look at Koukaki. None of the three offers free cancellation.

- Currency: euro (EUR).
- Our data lists an ID card as enough for this trip; if you don't hold one, bring your passport.

- You fly from Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) to Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), one stop on ITA, 4h 25m.
- None of the three hotels offers free cancellation, so lock in your dates before you book.
- We budget $90 per person per day for spending, $360 for two, which isn't in the $806.
Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
For most couples, yes. The fare of $312 per person matches the median of our earlier checks, the hotel scores 9.2 and the forecast stays mild. The catch is that it's one stop and you land after midnight, so you lose Friday night.
How much is the whole trip for two?
It comes to $806 for two, all in: $624 for the ITA flights and $154 for 2 nights at ANDIE Kallithea Filaretou, taxes and fees included. A checked bag, about $160 for two, isn't in that total, and neither is spending money.
When does the flight land?
The $312 fare leaves Friday evening, Oct 23, and lands in Athens after midnight. It's one stop and 4h 25m in total. We also found an earlier ITA option that lands Friday evening, at $371 per person.
What's the weather like?
Highs are 70–74°F and lows 57–60°F. It looks overcast Friday and Saturday, and Sunday may drizzle. Rain chances run from 13% to 19%.
Is 2 nights enough?
It's enough for the Acropolis and its museum, a sunset on Lycabettus Hill and a night of mezze in Psyrri. A day trip to Cape Sounion or the Athens Riviera would need more time.
