20 Things to do in Athens Greece Top Attractions Travel Guide Transcript:
Well, good afternoon from sunny Athens. We are currently exploring the Greek capital. We recently actually spent a few days traveling around Meteora and now we're finishing up our trip here in Athens. We've got two full days to explore the city which isn't a lot of time but we're going to try to do our best.
Our first stop was one of the most recognized sights in Athens - the Parthenon, which was dedicated to the goddess Athena who was seen as the patron of Athens.
After sunset we lingered atop Mount Lycabettus for some night views of the city before taking the funicular down to the bottom. Seeing the Acropolis all lit up at night was a pretty cool sight!
Next up we visited the Temple of Zeus which once housed the statue of Zeus, and was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
When it comes to shopping, there are a few different options. We made our way to Monastiraki, which is one of the principal shopping districts in Athens. Here we visited both the Flea Market and the antique shops in the area.
The Agora was the central spot in ancient Greek city-states, and it is where people gathered.
So we are wrapping up our time here in Athens. Any surprises or final thoughts to share? Yeah, something that really surprised me were just the amount of stray animals that I saw on the streets.
I also thought there was really good dining options as well. We had a number of really good Greek meals and also some really good International food too.
Final thoughts, I think this is a really underrated capital in Europe. A lot like Warsaw in Poland so if you have an opportunity to visit Athens in Greece definitely do so.
So what did you think of Athens? Well, I thought it was a really cool city and I actually had a great time here. It kind of reminded me a little bit of Tel Aviv with the Mediterranean feel but also Berlin because it is very artsy and gritty. So it's a really cool place to check out. Great food, lots of attractions. You have a mix of antiquity with urban.
And that's a wrap for Athens! We hope you enjoyed this city guide and that it'll come in handy when you plan your own trip.
This is part of our Travel in Greece series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Greek culture, Greek arts, Greek foods & Greek cuisine.

Athens Open-Top Bus Tour - FULL VIDEO (Sights of Athens, Greece)
Just like Rome, there is too much to see and plenty to do in Athens! We were only here for a few days, so an open-top bus tour really helped get a good grasp of the city pretty fast! From the bus, you can go on to visit the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora and many more popular spots in Athens! There are three open-top bus companies which all go to the same places. Sights of Athens (The blue bus) was the cheapest and also run later than another one! We didn't have any problems or issues. Great time!

Athens Greece City Tour
Athens, Greece, is one of the oldest cities in the world, but don’t think you won’t find modern conveniences. Since the 2004 Olympics, Greece has poured massive amounts of funding into improving Athens’ infrastructure with an updated airport, highway system, and metro railway.
Tips: Visit the Acropolis and Parthenon in the morning to beat the crowds and heat. Plan on spending at least two hours to visit the Acropolis Museum and stay for lunch. At the Temple of Zeus, marvel at the largest temple in the country that took 700 years to build.
Just to the north of the Acropolis, you’ll find the ancient Agora of Athens, where Greeks used to congregate.
For retail therapy, we recommend three places: the Taveria Plaza, the flea markets of Monastiraki, or the designer boutiques of Kolonaki.
In front of Parliament, you’ll find the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and can watch the changing of the guards every hour.
To make your travel planning even easier, check out our custom itineraries for great cities such as Seattle, Gettysburg, Williamsburg, and New Orleans.
