Athens and Side Trips Rick Steves' Europe

Premiered October 04, 2008
Athens and Side Trips

The thriving capital of Greece sprawls out from the foot of its magnificent Acropolis. We’ll tour the must-sees of ancient Athens: the Parthenon, Agora, and amazing National Archaeological Museum. We’ll take the pulse of the modern city, but waste no time getting to my favorite side-trip destinations: the ruins of the oracle at Delphi and a fast boat to the romantic, traffic-free Isle of Hydra.
