Athens layers 5,000 years of history beneath the modern capital of Greece, with the Acropolis and its Parthenon rising above the city on the Sacred Rock. Beyond the ruins, the Plaka and Monastiraki neighborhoods buzz with tavernas, rooftop bars, and street markets. It's also the easiest jumping-off point for island-hopping across the Aegean.
