Send a Parcel to Athens, Greece
The city of Athens is huge and the largest in Greece. It is one of the most historic cities in the world as well as being one of the oldest with its early history spanning back around 3,400 years. It has long been a centre for the arts, learning and philosophy and indeed is home to Plato’s academy.
In 2012 Athens was ranked as the 39th richest city in the world yet also classed as the 77th most expensive at the same time. This is slightly at odds with the current economic problems the entire country of Greece is going through with much civil unrest in the country although it is still safe for tourists.
It features some incredibly historic sites such as the UNESCO World Heritage site, the Acropolis, which is a must see site if you’re visiting Athens.
The city was home to the first modern Olympic games in 1896 and was recently the home of the 2004 summer Olympics although many would cite this Olympics as being one example of the spending that is now causing major problems in Greece.
It is a very popular destination for onward transit to the many Greek islands, which attracts millions of tourists every year. Weather wise it is typically Mediterranean with very warm hot summers and very mild Winters.
It is a culture lovers delight with almost infinitesimal amounts of ancient Greek history to explore. The early beginnings of the city date back to the 11th millennium B.C.
The Parthenon is a site that takes most peoples breath away particularly when it is viewed lit up at night. One can only begin to imagine what these buildings were like in the heyday of ancient Greek times.
If you're looking for parcel delivery worldwide to Greece, shipping parcels to and from the city should not be a problem, note though to allow for extra delivery time as things are not done at the same speed as in other European countries. Also when shipping parcels to Greece it is a good idea to carry out further checks on the purchaser given the current economic problems.

By far best courier service in the UK
Highly recommend this courier service and after using many others I would not use any other courier. Everything from booking to fast delivery is superb. Customer Services easy to contact and sorts problems out fast. Don't listen to me just use there services and you will agree with me. Even within the UK parcel delivered fast and cheaply too.![4 stars](/custom/images/reviews/4stars.png)
Easy, efficient service.
Great price for a 3-5 day delivery. I was told, by email and phone conversation, that I wouldn't need to fill in 4 custom forms. However I had them ready on collection from prior experience and the collection would not have happened without them. Please correct your information. Otherwise quick collection, the parcel arrived at its' destination country within 5 days, although it didn't get released for actual delivery for a further 10 days which was disappointing but not the fault of Worldwide Parcel Services. Overall I would use the company again, excellent price, good customer service, easy website to use for services.![5 stars](/custom/images/reviews/5stars.png)
Efficient, delivered with care.
My inquiry was dealt with swiftly and efficiently. Very clear instructions were given as to packing and labelling. The parcel was collected at the time it said. It was delivered intact with no damage done which was good as a glass framed picture.![5 stars](/custom/images/reviews/5stars.png)
