3 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Visiting Mount Lycabettus and Glyfada Beach will get you outdoors. Visit Acropolis of Athens and Church of Kapnikarea for their historical value. There's lots more to do: take a stroll through Plaka, stop by Monastiraki, admire the masterpieces at National Archaeological Museum, and take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum.
