Athens is a unique mix of classic and modern and its downtown area is easily accessible by metro. Purchase a one-day public transportation ticket and set off to explore the archaeological sites and museums. Many of them have been attracting international visitors to the cradle of western civilization for centuries.Climbing up the Acropolis should be the first thing you do in Athens. A quick walk up the hill and a visit to the Parthenon, the most iconic piece of Ancient Greek architecture, takes around 60 minutes.Apart from the Acropolis, take the time to explore the Ancient Agora and discover its well-preserved temple of Hephaestus. A visit to the modern Acropolis Museum and the all-time classic National Archaeological Museum are also top of the agenda.

And as night falls, you will be tempted to enjoy a hot night in a city that never sleeps. Why miss out on the fun?
