Book the Acropolis for early morning in September, catch a Cape Sounion sunset before the clocks change on October 25, and use the free-entry days on October 28 and November 1.</div> </div> </div> <p>Summer in Athens is loud, hot, and crowded. Winter is calm but grey some days. Autumn sits right in the middle, and a lot of people who know the city well (Athenians included) will tell you it&rsquo;s the best time of the year.</p>
