1. Acropolis and Parthenon (8:00 AM - 10:00 AM)

Start your day early at the Acropolis to beat the crowds and the heat. Walk up the hill to explore the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. The panoramic views over Athens are breathtaking, giving you a glimpse of the city’s historical richness and modern vibrancy.
