Athens

7 Days in Greece: Ancient Athens and Santorini

Four days in Athens — the Acropolis at opening time, the Acropolis and National Archaeological museums, the ancient agoras, and Plaka and Monastiraki tavernas — then three days in Santorini: Fira's museums and the caldera walk to Oia, the blue domes and castle sunset, the Minoan buried city of Akrotiri, and a black-sand beach afternoon in Kamari. The plan re-plans itself around how you travel — your pace, budget and interests reshape every day.
