8 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Step off the beaten path and head to Mount Lycabettus and Temple of Poseidon. Step out of Athens with an excursion to Astir Beach in Vouliagmeni--about 38 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of Hephaestus, get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, delve into the distant past at Temple of Athena Nike, and wander the streets of Plaka.
