Athens First Visit Highlights
Base in Plaka and walk between the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Ancient Agora and National Archaeological Museum.
A compact itinerary for a first visit to Athens. On day one, watch the changing of the guard at Syntagma Square, stroll through the National Garden, and visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus, then head to Plaka in the evening. On day two, go up to the Acropolis early, then visit the Acropolis Museum and Anafiotika. On day three, explore the Ancient Agora and Monastiraki, and finish at the National Archaeological Museum. All three days rely on walking and the metro, with no day trips outside the city.
Afternoons in July and August are extremely hot. Go to the Acropolis right when it opens, or visit in the evening.
