5 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Museum-lovers will appreciate Acropolis Museum and Museum of Cycladic Art. Relax by the water at Glyfada Beach and Voula Beach. Step out of Athens with an excursion to Scuba & Snorkeling in Lagonisi--about 1h 25 min away. There's much more to do: wander the streets of Plaka, admire the masterpieces at National Archaeological Museum, see the interesting displays at Museum of Greek Popular Musical Instruments, and get a dose of the wild on a nature and wildlife tour.
