We have been in Athens several times already, as the city is very easy to travel to - from many airports in Europe. The flight tickets are very convenient and also many cruises consider Athens as a port of call. We have done weekends, complete weeks and also day stays for a cruise stop. Each time we explore a new place, food or activity. While our first trips were more targeted to the ancient monuments and temples, we continued to explore the Riviera, beaches, restaurants and new activities on our later trips.
