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 Mycenae (Archaeological Site Mycenae & Lion Gate), Nafplio (Fortress Palamidi, Nauplion Promenade, &more) and Corinth (Akrokorinthos, Archea Korinthos, &more). There's lots more to do: delve into the distant past at Acropolis of Athens, visit Plaka, explore the world behind art at Benaki Museum, and get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum.
