Athens:

 Greece is the cradle of European civilization, and Athens has been its capital since 1834. There is never time to be bored or to be at a loss for an interesting activity in Athens. Visit the flea market and the bazaar area at Monastiraki, look inside some of the hundreds of tiny Byzantine churches, shop for a few hours in the fascinating boutiques of Pláka, have a leisurely lunch in a taverna, watch the people walk by, and maybe spend a little time writing in your travel diary. When planning a trip to Athens, the weather is a consideration. Attica's sunshine and pleasant climate give visitors the opportunity to enjoy a trip to this beautiful city during any season. From March through May, it is almost always pleasant and mild. Between June and August, the temperature rises steadily, making August the month in which Athenians try to avoid the city. September is usually balmy, with occasional light rain. October offers beautiful weather. Most rain falls between November and February.Greece is full of ancient ruins and free sightseeing that will keep you busy without draining your budget. Start your trip with a stroll through the Monastiraki Flea Market on Sundays to haggle over Greek wares, treats, and souvenirs. Practice your summer Olympic skills along the beaches of Vouliagmeni or Varkiza, about 20 km south of Athens. On Thursdays, explore Benaki Museum from Neolithic era to 20th Century free of charge. Also on the free list is the national landmark Hadrian's Arch and Syntagma Square which is the center of Athenian life and the place to watch the hourly changing of the guard ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. While Athens does charge for most major tourist attractions, the $16 Acropolis ticket gets you into all the major sites including the Acropolis, Ancient Agora, open-air Theatre of Dionysus, Kerameikos Cemetery, Roman Forum, Tower of the Winds, and Temple of Olympian Zeus among others. It's an affordable vacation fit for the gods (and your accountant).
