Robert Siekert shares some interesting things to do on your trip to Athens this year.

1. EXPLORE THE ACROPOLIS
1
The most famous site in all of Athens, and
arguably, one of the most famous remaining
pieces of ancient architecture in the world,
the spectacular Acropolis stands erected on
a large hill in the middle of the city. It can
get very crowded, which is why it is best to
go in the off season.

TOUR THE PARTHENON
2
Erected in 447 BC in dedication to the
goddess Athena, the Parthenon remains
heralded today has a stunning piece of
architecture and symbol of democracy. It’s
so well known that a full-scale replica was
built in 1897 for the Centennial Exposition
in Tennessee.
TAKE A GREEK COOKING CLASS
3
Get acquainted with the wonderfully
fragrant world of Mediterranean cuisine by
trying your hand at a Greek cooking class.
With the recipes for tangy dolmadakia and
savory tzatziki under belt, authentic Greek
flavor will be within your reach even once
you've returned from your trip.
VISIT A GREEK BAKERY
4
The myriad of casual street stalls and fine
dining establishments have you got
covered, just ensure that one of your stops
includes a Greek bakery. Nothing beats a
hearty spinach and feta-stuffed spanakopita
or sticky-sweet baklava on the go.
REKINDLE YOUR LOVE OF MYTHOLOGY
5
Greek gods and goddesses played a large
role in building early Greece. You can see
the influence they had on city life by taking
a tour built entirely around them.
