Athens weekend breaks
Short Athens breaks will suit those with plenty of energy on their holidays for the city attractions are many. The Acropolis and Parthenon, the Archaeological Museum, the winding alleys of Plaka and Monastiraki square and if your legs will keep you going through the weekend then take in the view of Athens from the top of Lycabetous Hill followed by a short sprint round the Panathinaikon Stadium, birthplace of the modern Olympics. The new Archaeological Promenade, some 4km long, links the main tourist sites in Athens and is an ideal, traffic free way to see this part of the city. The rest of your city breaks in Athens?
