4 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Venture out of the city with trips to Nauplion Promenade (in Nafplio) and Archaeological Site Mycenae (in Mycenae). There's much more to do: steep yourself in history at Acropolis of Athens, get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, let your taste buds guide you at a local gastronomic tour, and explore the world behind art at National Archaeological Museum.

To find maps, other places to visit, photos, and tourist information, go to the Athens tour planner.

In September, daily temperatures in Athens can reach 34°C, while at night they dip to 24°C. Finish your sightseeing early on the 15th (Sun) to allow enough time to travel back home.
