6 days in Athens Itinerary

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

You've added National Garden, Attica Zoological Park, Areopagus, and other attractions to your itinerary. Get outdoors at Mount Lycabettus and Marathon Lake. Discover out-of-the-way places like Temple of Hephaestus and Panathenaic Stadium. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Athens: Papagiannakos Winery (in Markopoulo Mesogeas) and Temple of Poseidon (in Sounio). There's much more to do: make a trip to Erechtheion, stop by Kerannymi, wander the streets of Monastiraki, and explore the ancient world of Ancient Agora of Athens.
