3 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Discover out-of-the-way places like Panathenaic Stadium and Temple of Poseidon. There's still lots to do: get great views at Mount Lycabettus, explore the ancient world of Temple of Hephaestus, hunt for treasures at Monastiraki, and contemplate the long history of Ancient Agora of Athens.

If you are flying in from Romania, the closest major airport is Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. Expect a daytime high around 22°C in November, and nighttime lows around 15°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 1st (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
