9Visiting Only the Main Sights

While the Acropolis, Plaka, and Syntagma Square are must-sees, many tourists ignore lesser-known gems like Anafiotika, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, or the Byzantine and Christian Museum.

Athens has layers of history and culture beyond ancient Greece, and exploring only the highlights gives you a shallow experience.

Tip: Spend time wandering around neighborhoods like Koukaki, Psiri, or Exarchia for a more authentic look at local life.
