Parthenon is a temple that dominates the Acropolis Hill at Athens. Dedicated to the city’s patron, the goddess Athena, the temple was completed in 438 BCE and was one of the hosting grounds of the Panathenaia
The Acropolis Museum is consistently rated as one of the best museums in the world. Devoted to the Parthenon and its surrounding temples, it is cleverly perched above Athens like a luminous box. The rich collections provide visitors with a comprehensive picture of the human presence on the Acropolis, from pre-historic times through late antiquity.
The paved street Dionysiou Areopagitou is one of the best places in Athens to go for a walk, as it offers one of the best views of the Acropolis and the ancient temples. It was named after Dionysios Areopagitis, the first member of the ancient court Arios Pagos who converted to Christianity around 50 AD.
One of the most picturesque spots in Athens, Plaka, known as the 'Neighborhood of the Gods', built with neoclassical houses, it is offered for walks, shopping and visits to various monuments.
Syntagma Square (Constitution Square) is the most important square of modern Athens from both a historical and social point of view, at the heart of commercial activity and Greek politics.
The change of the guards takes place every hour by the military unit whose members stand proudly in perfect stillness in front of the Parliament.
The Panathenaic Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens. One of the main historic attractions of Athens, it is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble.
Lycabettus hill is the highest point in the center of Athens. Thousands of Athenians and tourists climb up to the top every year in order to enjoy the view from the height of 277 meters and dine in the cafe or restaurant.
