Hey everyone! 👋
I’m planning a 2.5-day trip to Athens and wanted to get your thoughts on my itinerary:
Day 1:
- Arriving there around 9-10 am
- Monument of the Unknown Soldier & Hellenic Parliament (change of guards on the hour)
- Syntagma Square
- National Garden
- Zappeion Hall
- Temple of Olympian Zeus
- Panathenaic Stadium
- Beach / Lycabettus Hill
Day 2:
- Acropolis (8am-)
- Theatre of Dionysus
- Parthenon
- Erechtheion
- Temple of Athena Nike
- Odeon of Herodes Atticus
- National Observatory of Athens
- Temple of Hephaestus
- Ancient Agora of Athens
- Roman Agora
- Hadrian’s Library
- Psiri
- Monastiraki Square
- Athens Flea Market
- Holy Church of the Virgin Mary
- Sephora (quick stop 😄)
- Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens
- Anafiotika
- Plaka
- Arch of Hadrian
Day 3:
- National Archaeological Museum
(I have to leave around 12, so I only planned this museum for that day)
Does this look realistic, or am I overpacking it? What would you skip or rearrange?
Also, I definitely want to catch at least one sunset (probably Lycabettus Hill) and spend some time by the sea (thinking Kalamaki beach). Is it possible with this list? Which day should I do what?
Would really appreciate any tips!
Thanks in advance 💐
