Not one of the most beautiful European capitals, but certainly a must see in Greece. You can't go to the Greek islands, without spending at least four-five days in Athens. Athens is a great place for sightseeing as there are many ancient, Roman and Byzantine remains spread around the city. The Acropolis is the most famous but there are also many other sights to see, such as the Ancient Agora, the National Garden close to Syntagma, the temple of the Olympian Zeus and the temple of Poseidon in Sounion. To go to the Temple of Poseidon, better take part in an organized tour. Do not go swimming around Athens, save swimming for the islands, as beaches seem to be overcrowded and I doubt if they are clean. Best activities: buy souvenirs in Monastiraki, have a coffee in Thissio and eat gyros in Plaka.
