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 Acropolis Museum. Relax by the water at Glyfada Beach and Megalo Kavouri. Change things up with these side-trips from Athens: Glyfada (Asteras Glyfada Beach & ARCHELON Τhe Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece), Scuba & Snorkeling (in Lagonisi) and Vouliagmeni (Vouliagmeni Beach & Kavouri Beach). There's much more to do: stop by Plaka, pause for some photo ops at Erechtheion, take a stroll around Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of Hephaestus.

Expect a daytime high around 39°C in August, and nighttime lows around 29°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 21st (Wed) early enough to travel back home.
