Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

We visited in mid October during covid restrictions. Plenty of space to watch the changing of the guard. You can get very close. It's also free, as you can't go in the mansion. Across the road is the national garden.

Located adjacent to the National Gardens, the baths were discovered during the construction of the proposed Metro Station, subsequently relocated. Viewed from the public footpath there is no fee to view these ruins, which are well worth a visit, located close to Handrian’s Arch and the Temple of the Olympian Zeus.
