Go beyond the Acropolis and explore the Agora and Kerameikos, imagining yourself entering Athens along the road from the port of Piraeus, and following the Panathenaic Way to the Akropolis. Stop at the museums along the way to understand the significance of each site. Then visit the National Archaeological Museum to see that classical Athens is just one of Greece's many magnificent cultures.
The new Acropolis museum is a must see and a visit to the museum of Archaeology is a close second.
If you want to avoid crowds while seeing the famous sights, start out early and be at the sights when they open. I arrived at the Acropolis around 8:10 AM and there were only around 20 people on the whole compound. It was wonderful! There was a crowd climbing the hill when I descended, though!
Consider visiting Athens in May or September. May is just lovely. Spring flowers like poppies and daisies cover the hills. It's not too busy and not too hot. Remember that on holidays you are always moving so consider the weather when you make your plans. Also, research opening hours as the Acropolis is closed May 1; and other Ancient Landmarks are closed on certain days and on certain hours any other day.
The museums were free on certain days. The opening days and time of the new Acropolis museum was incorrect.
The new Acropolis museum was truly impressive with modern displays & interpretations.
“The closeness to the Plaka and the Acropolis can't be beat. There are plenty of luxury hotels nearby but this is a real family business and we've been visiting, on and off, for over 25 years. Great family and great value. We needed to be close enough to the airport for a 6 am flight and also have time to do some gift shopping in Athens' Plaka.”
“The location was wonderful, right in the heart of historical Athens in the Plakka. The hotel is quaint and historically fun. We were able to walk everywhere - in close proximity to all of the tourist sights, attractions, shops, restaurants. The room was generous (we had 3 people) and a refrigerator! Do not miss out on the roof deck. The views of the Acropolis and the city are spectacular. The staff was kind - we arrived at 4:00 in the morning and they also helped us when we were leaving and our rental car did not show up on time.”
“The Royal Olympic is a dream to stay at while visiting Athens! It is in such an amazing location right in front of the Temple of Zeus and literally a 5 min walk to the Acropolis. The hotel itself is beautiful and has a dream view in the evening of the temples on the roof which is just magical. Food was delicious as well. 6 minutes from the Acropolis metro station as well. I was super satisfied with this booking!”
“This was great value for money. The rooms were small but very clean and modern. The restaurant at the top had wonderful views of the Acropolis and served a good breakfast everyday. Dinner was also very nice. No pool but they have arrangement with another hotel and we did swim there (also on the roof with a great view). I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Athens for a couple of days. Note: they have interconnecting rooms for families.”
“Excellent location right near the Acropolis and close to eating and shopping. Has only been open for 4 months so everything is in great condition. Good-sized room with a huge bathroom. Queen bed was comfy. Strong air conditioner which was needed in the Athens heat. Very happy with our stay and would strongly recommend this hotel.”
