You can marvel with your partner at various ancient artifacts and artworks at National Archaeological Museum and National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens.

Tip from Content Creator
You can do the main parts of the city in a day and two days if you want to soak up the atmosphere. It will take three if you want to squeeze in a trip to the Vouliagmeni coast.
Also, Athens is foodie heaven and unbelievably good value. We had one blowout meal but otherwise didn’t spend more than 15–25 EUR (16.31–27.19 USD) per person on food and drinks and we absolutely weren’t holding back!! It’s true what they say about the busyness of the Acropolis. It opens at 8am, and we arrived at 8:15am. It wasn’t dead, but it was manageable. By 9:15am, it was swarming, and we hot-footed it down the hill to brunch! So, go early.
Also, we saved money by buying a city pass ticket to all the historical sites.
