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 Panathenaic Stadium. 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: explore the ancient world of Acropolis of Athens, admire the masterpieces at National Archaeological Museum, pause for some photo ops at Submarine Monument, and take a stroll through Plaka.

For photos, other places to visit, more things to do, and other tourist information, refer to the Athens travel route planning website.

In April, daytime highs in Athens are 24°C, while nighttime lows are 15°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 9th (Tue) so you can travel back home.
