Athens' recorded history dates back 3,000 years, so naturally this capital city is a treasure trove of historically and culturally significant ruins. The most important architectural sightseeing stop is the Acropolis, with its famous Parthenon, which was built in honor of the goddess Athena between 447 and 438 B.C. Also sample the delectable Greek food, shop the many open-air markets, and if you're a night owl, hit the bars, clubs and traditional tavernas for live Greek music.1-800-340-8612
