Athens is where the Parthenon still crowns the skyline and ancient ruins surface between apartment blocks and cafés. The Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Agora and the National Archaeological Museum tell the story in remarkable depth.
The modern city is just as rewarding: rooftop bars facing the Acropolis, neighbourhood tavernas, street art in Psyrri and an easy drive to the coast and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion.
