The thriving capital of Greece sprawls out from the foot of its magnificent Acropolis. Become a "temporary local" and discover the hidden treasures of Athens with best-selling author and travel expert, Rick Steves. We'll tour the must-sees of ancient Athens: the Parthenon, Agora, and amazing National Archaeological Museum. We'll take the fast-paced pulse of the modern city, but waste no time getting to Rick's favorite side-trip destinations: the ruins of the mystical oracle at Delphi and a fast boat to the romantic, traffic-free Isle of Hydra.
