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: Donkeysland (in Koropi) and Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Metropolitan Church (in Glyfada). 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 pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus.
