3 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Step out of the city life by going to Glyfada Beach and Scuba & Snorkeling. Get some cultural insight at Acropolis of Athens and National Archaeological Museum. There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, take a stroll through Plaka, pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus, and take in the architecture and atmosphere at Church of Kapnikarea.
