4 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Get in touch with nature at Mount Lycabettus and Glyfada Beach. Acropolis of Athens and Ancient Agora of Athens will appeal to history buffs. There's still lots to do: wander the streets of Plaka, stop by Monastiraki, enjoy the sand and surf at Voula Beach, and get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum.
