The Acropolis, Greece’s most famous UNESCO site, has always been the fortress of Athens and the absolute symbol of the grandeur of the Greek civilization. The buildings included are: Parthenon, Erechthion, Odeon of Herodes (Herodion), Temple of Athena Nike, Propylea, Theatre of Dionysus.
Built right above the ancient city and a metro station, this is practically the heart of Athens right by the old town, where there are dozens of shops for clothes, shoes and souvenirs (‘flea market’), restaurants and cafés. Definitely the place to be!
Once a library for nearly 20,000 'books' this site with impressive Corinthian columns eventually became home to Christian churches and ottoman houses until the 19th century.
Considered the world's first meteorological station, this simple-looking building was a marvel of Ancient Greek engineering, now surrounded by remains of various invaders...
This is the old town of Athens right by the Acropolis, full of taverns, cafés, and wonderful ancient and neoclassical buildings. Anafiotika is part of it but it stands out for its island look.
The most impressive museum in Greece and one of the best ones in the world, the Acropolis Museum houses the classical masterpieces from the Acropolis combining ruins of ancient Athens that are always visible under your feet.
