  • 5 nights of accommodations in a standard double/twin room at the four-star Parthenon Hotel

What to See and Do in Athens

There’s more to Athens than its ruins—thanks to its vibrant nightlife, mild Mediterranean weather, and modern museums, it has remained a world-class travel destination well into modern times. Still, the ruins are the city’s greatest draw. See how ancient Greeks lived and worshiped at the Acropolis’s monuments and temples, among them the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike.

  • Stroll through the Acropolis to marvel at Doric and Ionic temples that tower above the city. The most famous, the Parthenon, was built in the fifth century BC for the goddess Athena. It sits at the very top of the walled city center.
  • Ride a funicular to the top of Mount Lycabettus for the best views of the city.
  • Eat like a local: Condé Nast Traveler calls horiatiki “the one dish you can’t leave Athens without trying.” This traditional Greek salad incorporates a olives, onions, tomatoes, cucumber, and feta.
  • Take an optional tour, such as a half-day Athens sightseeing tour ($61/person), a full-day Delphi tour with lunch ($90/person), a visit to Cape Sounion ($43/person), or an Argolis tour with lunch ($90/person). You can save 10% or more by booking in advance.
