As you tour the Parthenon, you'll discover a prominent temple that was dedicated to the goddess Athena.

Hints and Tips
After landing at Athens International Airport (ATH), pick up a rental car and merge on Motorway 6 to reach the capital of Greece. The Mediterranean climate in Athens brings mild temperatures in the winter and warm days in the summer. When it gets hot in this city, you'll be thankful for the cool breeze that comes from the Mediterranean Sea. Regardless of the time of the year, you can comfortably enjoy authentic Souvlaki platters and Baklava dessert at outdoor restaurants.
