Planning a vacation in Athens? A 4-day plan: Acropolis and Plaka, an island cruise, a taverna night with live music, the Riviera and a spa – arranged by Yana.
How many days do you need in Athens?
Four days is ideal: a day for the old city, a day cruising the islands, a day on the Riviera or a day trip, and a taverna night you won't forget. With five days, add Nafplio.
Day 1 – Acropolis, Plaka and Anafiotika
Arrive early at the Acropolis to beat the heat and queues, continue to the Acropolis Museum and walk down to Plaka and Anafiotika. In the evening, a walking tour or dinner with an Acropolis view.
Day 2 – Island cruise
A full day to Aegina, Agistri and Moni: turquoise swims, lunch on board and plenty of sun. Back in Athens in the evening, tired and happy.
Day 3 – The city on wheels and a taverna night
A morning motorized tour past Hadrian's Arch, the Panathenaic Stadium and an Acropolis viewpoint. In the evening, a taverna with live music, dancing and plate smashing.
Day 4 – Riviera and spa
A relaxed day on the Athens Riviera: Lake Vouliagmeni, blue coves and sunset at Cape Sounion, or a spa day before your flight.
Tips
Book your airport transfer ahead, keep Yana's WhatsApp for any question, and if you keep kosher, add Kabbalat Shabbat and the kosher taverna night.
