Hi traveler, This is a Master Guide for all the handpicked places I have chosen to help you while you are in Athens. Save it and share it with your friends. Athens is the capital of Greece and rightfully considered the historical capital of Europe. Being one the world’s oldest cities, Athens is still dominated by various landmarks, monuments and ancient buildings which showcase the city’s rich history. Athens houses layers of history such as the Acropolis, over 70 museums, Byzantine churches, ancient theaters and more hidden treasures along its downtown streets. Whether you are planning to stay for a few days or more, this Master guide includes hand picked sightseeing places to visit, but also recommended restaurants, hotels, cafes and places of interest. If you consider a private tour or a customised itinerary to your preferences, contact me efi@definitelygreeece.com NOTE: Our Master Guide will be updated frequently. Have a great time to our beautiful country Efi Kalogirou
