Rámnoús and Brauron

Athens does have an urban sprawl, but it is much more compact than most other European capitals. Greece is a rural country and nearby sites such as Rámnoús and Vravróna (Brauron) offer an incredible contrast to the pace of city life. Take a picnic to Rámnoús and your only company is likely to be the site attendant, along with birds, butterflies, crickets and lizards.
