Day trip to Athens-what to see

Hi there, we are spending only one day. Where should we go?

That's tough. I think if it were me and I had never been to Athens and had just one day, I would do:

  • HOHO bus tour. I know a lot of people hate these, and I get why. I just like them as a good overview of a city in one day;
  • Plaka for lunch (or dinner if your daytrip is long enough);
  • I guess the Acropolis is a must do, but its a lot of up and down and queues for what I personally think is not a big enough bang. Given the short time I would rather just do the Acropolis Museum. Also its close to Plaka so minimizes travel time.
