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 Temple of Hephaestus and Mount Lycabettus. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Athens: Astir Beach (in Vouliagmeni) and Temple of Poseidon (in Sounio). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, admire the masterpieces at National Archaeological Museum, make a trip to Erechtheion, and delve into the distant past at Ancient Agora of Athens.
