Athens is not always an easy city to love, especially in the summer, when it is often crowded, smoggy and infernally hot. But in spring and fall, the place has many charms. Kolonaki is the Greek capital’s most fashionable residential, restaurant and shopping district (Voukourestiou Street is known for its jewelry). Nearby is a remarkable small private museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art. Aside from the Acropolis, Athens is home to the National Archaeological Museum, which holds the world’s largest collection of Greek antiquities.
