On cruises departing from Athens, you will encounter ancient architectural marvels such as the Acropolis, Parthenon, and Temple of Olympian Zeus, alongside modern museums, cafes, and shops throughout the city. It is a truly unique destination and an essential stop on any Greek Isles cruise.
- Visit the Parthenon and you’re in Athena’s house. This temple, built to worship her, today welcomes all.
- Get it together and visit the Temple of Hephaestus — perhaps the best-preserved ancient temple.
- Pláka, a neighborhood located just a stone’s throw from major historical sites, is an historical destination, itself.
