September in Athens means the summer heat has eased, making it ideal to explore the Acropolis and the ancient Agora between sessions. When the day's talks wrap up, head to the Plaka neighborhood for a plate of moussaka or fresh grilled octopus at a taverna, paired with a glass of retsina. It's a chance to combine world-class neurology with the living history and flavors of the city.
