1Only Spending One Day in Athens

A common misconception is that Athens is just a quick stopover before heading to the islands. While it’s true that Santorini and Mykonos are dazzling, limiting your time in Athens to one day is a major mistake.

The city has an incredible depth of history, culture, and food that deserves more than a passing glance. Tip: Spend at least 3 days in Athens to explore its rich layers—from ancient ruins and Byzantine churches to neoclassical mansions and modern street art.
