01 Overview

Athens is a city that rewards those who look past the traffic and the graffiti to the extraordinary: the Acropolis rising above the city in the early morning light, the National Archaeological Museum's Bronze Age masterpieces, the Plaka neighbourhood's tavernas serving grilled octopus and feta. Modern Athens has added a layer of creative energy — rooftop cocktail bars, contemporary galleries, and an emerging street food scene.

Highlights

  • Acropolis and Parthenon — the most important ancient monument in the Western world
  • Acropolis Museum — the world's finest collection of classical Greek sculpture
  • National Archaeological Museum — 11,000 artefacts from Mycenae to Roman Greece
  • Cape Sounion and Temple of Poseidon — sunset over the Aegean, 70km from Athens
