25 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Mount Lycabettus and Fortress Palamidi. Get outdoors at Corinth Canal and Alykes Beach. Venture out of the city with trips to Livanates Beach (in Livanates), Nafplio (Nauplion Promenade, Honey Nectar Ambrosia, &more) and Agia Kyriaki Church (in Tolon). Spend the 11th (Sun) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. There's lots more to do: contemplate the waterfront views at Limni Vouliagmeni, delve into the distant past at Archaeological Site Mycenae, get to know the fascinating history of Philopappos Hill, and kick back and relax at Chiliadou Beach.
