The Birthplace of Democracy

One of the world's most ancient cities, Athens remains Europe's undisputed historical and cultural capital.
Escape the urban bustle at Vouliagmeni Beach and Voula Beach. Discover out-of-the-way places like Dasoktima Tatoiou and Mount Lycabettus. Go for a jaunt from Athens to Sounio to see Temple of Poseidon about 1h 15 min away. There's still lots to do: explore and take pictures at Panathenaic Stadium.

For more things to do, maps, reviews, and more tourist information, you can read our Athens day trip planning site .

October in Athens sees daily highs of 28°C and lows of 18°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 4th (Thu) to allow enough time to travel back home.
