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 The Great Theatre of Epidaurus. Get outdoors at Corinth Canal and Nature & Wildlife Tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Livanates Beach (in Livanates), Nafplio (Fortress Palamidi, Nauplion Promenade, &more) and Agia Kyriaki Church (in Tolon). And it doesn't end there: enjoy the sand and surf at Alykes Beach, get to know the fascinating history of Philopappos Hill, explore the world behind art at Museum of Cycladic Art, and delve into the distant past at Archaeological Site Mycenae.
