One of the world's most ancient cities, Athens remains Europe's undisputed historical and cultural capital.

There's much more to do: take an in-depth tour of Acropolis Museum, admire the masterpieces at Benaki Museum, see the interesting displays at Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, and wander the streets of Monastiraki.
