6 days in Athens Itinerary

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

You've added National Garden, Attica Zoological Park, Areopagus, and other attractions to your itinerary. Get outdoors at Marathon Lake and Mount Lycabettus. Discover out-of-the-way places like Papagiannakos Winery and Didw Athens. Step out of Athens with an excursion to Temple of Poseidon in Sounio--about 1h 15 min away. There's much more to do: stop by Kerannymi, appreciate the history behind Temple of Olympian Zeus, delve into the distant past at Ancient Agora of Athens, and wander the streets of Monastiraki.
