2-Nights Athens Post Cruise Stay

Athens 2 Night Post Cruise Stay
No visit to Athens is complete without viewing one of the ancient monuments such as the Parthenon, the Acropolis of the Temple of Haephaistos. Stroll through the Plaka, the oldest neighborhood in Athens, and be charmed by cats sleeping in the sun, Byzantine churches, artist workshops and a plethora of good restaurants to choose from. Don’t miss the Temple of Zeus nearby. Treasures of another kind await in the city’s Ilias Lalaounis Jewelry Museum and Numismatic Museum filled with over half a million coins and semi-precious stones. Check out the acoustics of the Theatre of Dionysus where works by Sophocles and Euripedes were performed. Take a break from ancient history and visit some of the city’s numerous beaches, reachable by tram or bus. Check out the fish taverns along the water or stop in any souvlaki shop for a quick and tasty snack. If flea markets are your thing, investigate Monastiraki, Athens’ flea market, where you might unearth a treasure. Alternatively, explore the small shops of Evrypidou Street, well worth a visit to find a perfect memento of your time in Greece. Athens’ nightlife is the equal of any of the European capitals. Find live Greek music and dancing in numerious tavernas in Psiri or the Plaka. For a more unusual experience, seek out an establishment that has rembetika music, a type of urban blues created in the early 20th century.
