The Greek capital's laid-back lifestyle and incredible food attract the masses just as much as its famous attractions do.
Athens was made for history buffs and architecture aficionados thanks to its world-renowned landmarks like the Acropolis, home of the legendary Parthenon temple, and Ancient Agora. However, there's more to Athens than its historical sites. The Greek capital's laid-back lifestyle and incredible food attract the masses just as much as its famous attractions do. As you tour around the largest city in Greece, be sure to stroll through the historic neighborhood of Plaka, where you'll find restaurants, cafes (an afternoon frappé is a must), whitewashed homes and charming shops.
