Three days covers the essentials. One week and you start running out of must-sees. But five days? You get the ancient sites, the neighborhoods, the food scene, and two day trips that show you why Greece is so much more than just Athens.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve done Athens in every timeframe — rushed 24-hour layovers, leisurely week-long stays, and everything in between. Five days is when the city clicks. You have time to sit in a taverna for an extra hour, wander into a neighborhood that wasn&rsquo;t in the plan, and take a day trip without feeling like you&rsquo;re sacrificing the city.</p>
