Monument to the Unknown Soldier

Welcome to my hometown Athens, a city that seamlessly blends ancient history with modern vibrancy. This three-day adventure is designed to help you make the most of your time in this captivating Greek capital. From exploring the iconic Acropolis and its awe-inspiring monuments to savoring traditional cuisine in charming neighborhoods, and immersing yourself in Athens' lively nightlife, you'll discover the diverse facets that make this city truly special. This guide is divided into the following categories: 1. what to do for each day (archeological sites, neighborhoods you need to visit, activities to do) 2. where to eat & drink (includes 6 restaurants, 6 all-day cafes/bars), 3. where to party (nightlife in Athens). It is suitable for both winter and summer visitors. A curated list of recommendations like this unlike an itinerary offers flexibility and allows travelers to choose based on their available time. However, the way I listed the activities by day allows for a manageable time-based plan. It includes a map and insight notes such as a place description, the address, the opening hours, the ticket prices, the official website to book your tickets (If needed), and some tips for your visit.
