5 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Venture out of the city with trips to Akrokorinthos (in Corinth) and Archaeological Site Mycenae (in Mycenae). There's still lots to do: steep yourself in history at Acropolis of Athens, take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, take a stroll through Monastiraki, and explore the ancient world of Temple of Olympian Zeus.
