How long should I stay in Athens?
There is plenty to see in and around Athens, but if you just wanted to see the major sights, you could do so over three to four days.
To fully explore this great capital and to build in some time at the beach, consider at least a week, or longer for seeing more of Greece.
Is it easy to get around Athens?
In Athens, the public transport system is simple to use. Jump on the city’s excellent metro line to quickly travel between attractions on the outskirts of the city.
When you’re in central Athens you won’t have to worry about public transport – most places are easy to reach by walking. The Acropolis, Theatre of Dionysus and Plaka district are all within walking distance of one another.
