7 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Satisfy your inner culture vulture at Acropolis of Athens and Temple of Hephaestus. Relax by the water at Glyfada Beach and Vouliagmeni Beach. Change things up with these side-trips from Athens: Scuba & Snorkeling (in Lagonisi), Glyfada (Asteras Glyfada Beach & ARCHELON Τhe Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece) and Vouliagmeni (Megalo Kavouri & Kavouri Beach). There's much more to do: stop by Anafiotika, take a stroll through Plaka, take a stroll around Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, and don't miss a visit to Erechtheion.
