Athens questions
Is 5 days enough for Athens?
Five days covers the central ancient sites, the key museums and neighborhoods, and a coastal day at Lake Vouliagmeni and Cape Sounion.
Do I need to book Acropolis tickets ahead?
Yes, buy timed Acropolis tickets online before you arrive. It avoids long queues; adult tickets cost about 30 euros from April to October and less in winter.
How do I get to Lake Vouliagmeni and Sounion?
Take a KTEL bus toward Sounion along the coast road, or a taxi or rental car for flexibility. Swim at Lake Vouliagmeni first, then carry on to the Temple of Poseidon for sunset.
How do I reach Cape Sounion from Athens?
KTEL buses leave from the Mavromateon Street terminal near Pedion tou Areos and take about two hours. Check the Temple of Poseidon's current ticket price before you go.
