The Parthenon in Athens

2 days · May and September

Athens

The hill is a morning. The evening belongs to another neighborhood.

It is easy to treat Athens as a layover. Give it two days and the city starts to live below the hill as well. See the stone in the morning, then come down into the shade.

Walk Plaka once. Take dinner to Pangrati or Petralona, and that is what you will remember of Athens.

Highlights

  • The Acropolis at the first entry
  • One museum, or none
  • A neighborhood table

Neighborhoods

Koukaki

You can walk to the hill from here, and the evening closes on a more local note.

Pangrati

Beyond the stadium. One of the right addresses for a long table.
