Planning your visit to Athens
Athens is organised around the Acropolis, visible from half the city. One ticket covers the Parthenon and the slopes, and the Acropolis Museum at the foot of the hill explains everything missing up there. Around it, Plaka, Monastiraki and Psyrri hold the tavernas and markets, and all of it is walkable.
The July and August heat is no joke: climb the Acropolis first thing or late in the day, never at noon. Spring and autumn are the best window, and cheaper than the islands. The metro is easy and runs to the port of Piraeus, where ferries leave for the Cyclades, so you can pair the city with a few island days on the same trip.
