3 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Your day-by-day itinerary now includes Herod Atticus Odeon, Parthenon and Theater of Dionysus. Step out of the city life by going to Glyfada Beach and Areopagus. Get a sense of the local culture at Plaka and Erechtheion. There's much more to do: delve into the distant past at Acropolis of Athens, pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus, wander the streets of Monastiraki, and enjoy the sand and surf at Voula Beach.
