Only have a day in Athens? This 24-hour itinerary is designed to capture the city's essence in a short window - from a refreshing seaside morning in Vouliagmeni to exploring Athens' most iconic landmarks and savoring its unforgettable food scene. Along the way, you'll hit the must-sees, wander lively neighborhoods, and track down the best burrito we've ever had (yes, in Greece!)
Pace: Fast-moving but rewarding - you'll start your morning by the water before diving into the heart of Athens for a full day of sightseeing and dining.
Travel Style: Snapshot Adventure - Perfect for travelers on a stopover who want to see Athens' highlights while enjoying a taste of coastal Greece.
Good to Know: Expect an early start to maximize time, some uphill walking, and plenty of delicious food breaks to keep you going. We paired this trip with Mykonos.
Vouliagmeni Morning: Begin your day with a swim or coffee by the Aegean Sea - a calm start before the bustle of Athens.
Acropolis & Parthenon: Step into history at the crown jewel of the city, with sweeping views across Athens.
Foodie Finds: Savor the flavors of Athens - from mouthwatering loukoumades (Greek donuts with all kinds of sweet toppings), to surprise favorites that you might not expect to find in Greece!
