Antiquities and Archaeology - Audio Europe: Greece

Modern bustle, old sights.  
     Athens' pedestrian-friendly center hums with trendy boutiques and atmospheric cafes. Get oriented to the sprawling city while exploring Athens' rich history and rubbing shoulders with Athenians today.
     Starring: Candlelit Orthodox churches, dusty Roman ruins, Acropolis views, and the chaotic streets of Athens.
     Practicalities: The walk starts at Syntagma Square, meanders through the Plaka, skirts Acropolis hill for great views, and ends at Monastiraki Square, in the center of the tourist action. The walk is best in the morning or evening, since many historic churches are closed from 1:00 to 5:00. Wearing shorts inside churches is frowned upon but tolerated. Allow at least two hours for this walk.
