GREECE - ATHENS

Global Traveler|July 2021

Athens, the capital of modern-day Greece, also stood at the heart of Ancient Greece. Fifth-century B.C. landmarks still dominate this city, which historians generally consider the birthplace of Western civilization. Make sure to explore the many historic sites and breathtaking views.

GETTING THERE & AROUND

Most visitors who arrive by air fly into Athens International Airport. From the airport, you can ride Metro Line 3 or one of four EXPRESS airport buses into the city. When it comes to exploring Athens and its major attractions, opt to travel on foot or take the Metro. Most of the attractions lie within a short walking distance of each other.
