16 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Discover out-of-the-way places like Temple of Hephaestus and Walking tours. Venture out of the city with trips to Mycenae (Archaeological Site Mycenae, Lion Gate, &more), Attica Zoological Park (in Spata) and Nafplio (Ieros Naos Evaggelistria, Fortress Palamidi, &more). There's lots more to do: delve into the distant past at Acropolis of Athens, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Mount Lycabettus, test your problem-solving skills at popular escape rooms, and take in the waterfront activity at Flisvos Marina.
