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 Phaleron War Cemetery. Get out of town with these interesting Athens side-trips: Donkeysland (in Koropi) and Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Metropolitan Church (in Glyfada). There's much more to do: explore the ancient world of Acropolis of Athens, pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus, see where the action happens at Panathenaic Stadium, and take an in-depth tour of National Archaeological Museum.
