Daily life

Athens sits in the Attica basin between the valleys of the Ilisos and Kifisos; the Acropolis and its Parthenon, the ancient Agora, the National Archaeological Museum, and Monastiraki Square with its Ottoman-era mosque anchor Greece's capital stop. Daily planning moves between the climb to the Acropolis, Plaka's narrow streets, the Monastiraki market, and a break along the boulevards around Syntagma Square.
