6 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Take a break from the city and head to Dasoktima Tatoiou and Sea Turtle Rescue Centre. Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Greek Isles Yachting and Panathenaic Stadium. Take a break from Athens with a short trip to Donkey's Land in Koropi, about 30 minutes away. On the 1st (Fri), spend a cool day on the water with Ikarian Cruises. And it doesn't end there: choose your vessel at YachtSailing.gr / Charter Sailing Greece, take in the dramatic natural features at Areopagus, wander the streets of Plaka, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Church of Kapnikarea.
