11 days in Athens Itinerary

One of the world's most ancient cities, Athens remains Europe's undisputed historical and cultural capital.

Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Acropolis of Athens and Plaka. Visit Temple of Olympian Zeus and Theater of Dionysus for their historical value. Venture out of the city with trips to Donkeysland (in Koropi), Attica Zoological Park (in Spata) and Scuba & Snorkeling (in Lagonisi). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, take a stroll through Ermou Street, visit Monastiraki, and get a taste of the local shopping with Orlik Gallery.
