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 Temple of Poseidon. There's much more to do: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, take in the awesome beauty at Mount Lycabettus, look for gifts at Kerannymi, and stop by Plaka.

In February in Athens, expect temperatures between 18°C during the day and 9°C at night. Cap off your sightseeing on the 11th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
