There are plenty of things to do in Athens. Lovers of history, culture, and art will be kept well entertained through the hundreds of museums, with archaeological sites and numerous landmarks Athens has to offer. Shopping, walking around the traditional Plaka and Thisio and a walk by the Athens riviera are only just a few of the things you can do while being here.
If you appreciate modern art and architecture, do not omit a visit to the new National Museum of Modern Art and a walk at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. While visiting the latter, you might even book tickets to attend an event at the National Opera of Greece.
Of course, food in Greece is an activity itself. Be open to trying local and international cuisine, from restaurants to street food. The city center is also full of nice bars and coffee shops with a lot of character and quality products. The best part about it is that most of the options are quite affordable and will keep your palate super happy.
