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

Appreciate the collections at Acropolis Museum and National Archaeological Museum. Acropolis of Athens and Ancient Agora of Athens will appeal to history buffs. The adventure continues: take a stroll through Plaka, admire the masterpieces at Benaki Museum, pause for some serene contemplation at Church of Kapnikarea, and pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus.
