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

Do some cultural sightseeing at Acropolis of Athens and Acropolis Museum. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Temple of Olympian Zeus and Church of Kapnikarea. Change things up with a short trip to Attica Zoological Park in Spata (about 34 minutes away). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Plaka, appreciate the history behind Erechtheion, explore the world behind art at National Archaeological Museum, and surround yourself with nature on a nature and wildlife tour.
