Start at the <strong>Acropolis Museum</strong> (€20, opens 9 AM), have lunch at the covered <strong>Central Market</strong>, then spend the afternoon at the <strong>National Archaeological Museum</strong> (€20). Prefer something hands-on? Book a <strong>Greek cooking class</strong> (about €70-110 with lunch and wine) or a <strong>food tour</strong>. Finish with a hammam and a slow taverna dinner. Rain in Athens falls mostly November to March and usually lasts under 90 minutes, so keep the Acropolis itself for when the sky clears.</div> </div> </div> <p>Athens is famous for sunshine, and with good reason: the city gets around 2,800 hours of it a year. But between November and March, rain does happen. Usually it&rsquo;s a dramatic downpour that clears within an hour. Sometimes it settles in for the whole day.</p>
