Suggested Itineraries in Athens

As in the rest of Greece, traveling in Athens, though a lot of fun, can be unpredictable at times. Weather, strikes, inconvenient schedules—the best-laid plans can easily go astray.

That said, here are some ideal ways to see the best of Athens, whether you've only got one or two days or you're traveling with children. As they say in Greece, Kalo taxidi! (Have a good trip!)
