Athens
Three metro lines dissect the city and provide access to most major attractions.
The tourist information office at Tsoha 24 (210-870-7000, www.gnto.gr) provides detailed maps, an indispensable city guide and bus, train and ferry schedules.
Athens is one of the few cities in the world in which the installation of a modern metro system is regularly halted by important archaeological discoveries; the artifacts are now on display in its stations.
