Day 1: Kick off your Greece itinerary 10 days
The Acropolis, Athens
On day one of your 10-day Greece itinerary, arrive at Athens International airport. Have your Fora Advisor arrange a private transfer or take a taxi to your hotel. We have preferred partnerships with many hotels. From the classic King George to the understated elegance at The Dolli to the boutique all-suite experience at A77, there is a hotel for you.
If you book your trip with Fora, early check-in and upgrades (when available) mean you can have a quick shower, change and head out immediately to beat that jet lag.
Once you're ready, head out to explore your neighborhood. The Athenian center is compact, so walking around is easy to do. Stroll through the charming Plaka, known for its narrow streets, shops and traditional tavernas. Grab coffee and people-watch, or go shopping. If you want to explore the great archeology of Athens the right way, walk to the Library of Hadrian and enjoy the flea market there. (It can get quite crowded, but it's worth it.)
Post exploration, enjoy a traditional Greek dinner at a local restaurant. Greeks eat late, so an 8 pm or later reservation is recommended. Can't-miss staples include fava bean dip and taramosalata (fish roe dip). Check out some of our favorite hotels in Athens, Greece below.

Following your morning at the Acropolis, head out for lunch. Your concierge can suggest a restaurant. Or, ask your Fora Advisor for help.
