About Athens
Athens is where Western civilization took shape, and its ancient heart still crowns the city. The Acropolis rises above everything, the Parthenon at its summit visible from streets and rooftops across town, with the ruins of the Ancient Agora and the excellent Acropolis Museum filling in the story below. History here is not cordoned off but woven right through the modern city.
At street level, Athens is lively and unpretentious. The Plaka district wraps the base of the Acropolis in charming lanes of tavernas and shops, Monastiraki bustles with its flea market and rooftop bars, and formerly gritty neighborhoods now brim with street art and a young creative energy. The city also serves as the natural gateway to the Greek islands, with the ferry port of Piraeus close at hand.
Summers are hot and dry, and the exposed ruins offer little shade in the midday heat. Spring and fall bring warm, comfortable weather ideal for sightseeing, while winters are mild and quiet.
