10 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Change things up with a short trip to Temple of Poseidon in Sounio (about 1h 15 min away). And it doesn't end there: steep yourself in history at Acropolis of Athens, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, and wander the streets of Monastiraki.
