3 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Temple of Hephaestus and Mount Lycabettus. Change things up with a short trip to Temple of Poseidon in Sounio (about 1h 15 min away). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, explore the world behind art at National Archaeological Museum, see where the action happens at Panathenaic Stadium, and stop by Kerannymi.

In February in Athens, expect temperatures between 18°C during the day and 9°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 11th (Sun) so you can travel back home.
