The world is at your feet - so why choose Greece for your vacation destination? Once you visit Greece, that question is answered.
No other nation is as proud of its past as Greece, offering a wide array of fascinating places, splendid museums, and historic monuments, virtually all of them curated in multiple languages for the enjoyment of the visitors.
There’s no end of monuments and attractions in Athens, but these are the best of the best that you won’t want to miss in your travel to Greece.
1. The Acropolis and the Parthenon. The Acropolis and the Parthenon dominate Athens, and the most sightseeing-weary traveler will catch an enticing glimpse and be scrambling toward it before they know it.
2. National Archaeological Museum. This extensive collection is housed in the heart of Athens. While even a brief visit is dazzling, the true museum junkie should allow 2-3 hours. Even then, you’re speeding through millenia of Greek culture, starting with the Cycladic Island civilization and the Minoans and Myceneans, and stretching up toward the present.
3. Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon. A great afternoon trip from Athens, this is one of those spots that is as much a favorite with the locals as it is with the tourists. It’s a favorite sunset-viewing spot for everyone, and will give you a classically Greek moment against the ruined monument along with a terrific sea view.
4. Syntagma Square. Also known as “Constitution Square”, this is the heart of Athens in many ways. It’s a large, open square which often hosts holiday events, it’s the location of several of Athens’ most renowned luxury hotels, it’s an intense public transportation hub.
