As we were short for time we had 2 nights but only 1 full day in Athens so the best way to see it all and avoid the heat was on one of the Sight Seeing Tourist Buses. We jumped on board early in the morning and were able to hop off at all the main sights, highlights being the Acropolis and the Temple of Zeus. We also got a chance to walk through the Royal Botanical Gardens and wander through the Monastiraki market and still have time to have a traditional Greek lunch which of course consisted of Gyros and lots of Tatziki.
The Acropolis!

Gyros for lunch
(We stated at Parnon hotel (booked through booking.com) which was centrally located and quite good value for money. We used the official big red sightseeing bus and tickets can be used for 48 hours)
