Crew Notes
If you’re working with 12–24 hours in Athens, pick one major anchor like the Acropolis, then build the rest of the day around one neighborhood, one rooftop view, and one food stop. Athens is walkable in the center, but the heat, hills, and lines can wear you out fast. Comfortable shoes are not optional — and if you’re staying in Glyfada, give yourself time to enjoy the coastal reset before or after the city.
