Greece is holding its annual Rockwave Festival in early July, with top music names such as Guns 'N' Roses and Franz Ferdinand.

Anyone planning to grab a flight to Athens in the next fortnight should add the Terra Vibe-based festival to their itinerary.

The Dandy Warhols, Twisted Sister and Wasp are other musical acts present at the event, which is complimented by a number of different activities.

Bungee-jumping, skate parks, acrobats and jugglers all feature in the festival's programme and are on hand to keep tourists and locals entertained.

One extra feature of the Athens festival is the silent dancing trip, where visitors can don a pair of headphones and take to a silent dance-floor, entertaining themselves with their own personal music selection.

For those travellers flying to Athens looking for a more historical trip, the ancient sites of the city are a must see.

On the outskirts of the city is the Acropolis, which is widely perceived as the most important Athens site.

Here, visitors can see the remains of Ancient Greek civilisation and learn about the history of the country.
