4 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Step off the beaten path and head to Temple of Poseidon and Temple of Olympian Zeus. Get out of town with these interesting Athens side-trips: Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Metropolitan Church (in Glyfada) and Donkeysland (in Koropi). There's still lots to do: delve into the distant past at Acropolis of Athens, admire the masterpieces at National Archaeological Museum, pause for some serene contemplation at Agios Nikolaos Church, and see where the action happens at Panathenaic Stadium.
