25 days in Athens & Mooloolaba Itinerary

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

Venture out of the city with trips to Archaeological Site Mycenae (in Mycenae), Nafplio (Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation, Tiryns, &more) and Archaeological Museum of Vravrona (in Vravrona). There's much more to do: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, delve into the distant past at Acropolis of Athens, and see the interesting displays at Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology.
