About Athens
Athens needs 3 days: the Acropolis and Parthenon on one, the Plaka neighborhood and the Acropolis Museum on another, and a Cape Sounion trip on the third. April-June brings mild weather ahead of the scorching Greek summer heat. It's one of Western Europe's cheapest capitals for food and lodging. It's the birthplace of democracy and Western philosophy, and its over 2,400-year-old Acropolis remains the most recognizable architectural symbol of all Greece.
