2 days in Athens Itinerary

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

Kick off your visit on the 26th (Wed): pause for some photo ops at Temple of Athena Nike, then explore the ancient world of Acropolis of Athens, then make a trip to Erechtheion, and finally wander the streets of Plaka. Here are some ideas for day two: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, delve into the distant past at Theater of Dionysus, then explore the ancient world of Ancient Agora of Athens, then take in the spiritual surroundings of Temple of Hephaestus, and finally pause for some serene contemplation at Church of Kapnikarea.
