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

Change things up with these side-trips from Athens: Archaeological Site Mycenae (in Mycenae), Nafplio (Church of Panaghia, Peloponnesian Folklore Foundation, &more) and Saints Constantine and Helen Orthodox Metropolitan Church (in Glyfada). There's still lots to do: get engrossed in the history at Acropolis Museum, pause for some photo ops at Temple of Olympian Zeus, indulge your taste buds at Food & Drink, and take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Lycabettus.
