One of the seven wonders of the world! Must go!
Bring water and wear the right shoes because the stones can get slippery. Also, choose the right weather considering there isn’t much shaded places to hide. If you’re coming on winter, it is windy, so dress accordingly.

Đền Parthenon
You taste, smell, feel, see history!
A gem in the heart of Athens, that everyone should visit! This museum sits directly over some of the excavated surrounding villages of the Acropolis. Many beautiful artifacts are displayed plus this is the museum for many original pieces from the Acropolis too. Its a great resource which is extremely well presented as it gives a very tangible way of seeing the actual reliefs of the Parthenon spacially presented and up close including copies of the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum. Inside you’ll have breathtaking viewpoints from 360 windows. It’s one of most modern museum I’ve ever seen!
There’s also a bar inside with a pretty big balcony and of course with a surprising view!

This place is great. A must see in Athens. Marvellous collection of Greek artefacts from prehistory to late antiquity. Do not pass by: the gold funeral mask of Agamemnon; the bronze statue of Zeus; the frescos from antique Santorini; the terracotta figurine "The Thinker"; the Marathon Boy; the Antikythera Ephebe and the bronze statue of a horse and a young jockey.

One of the best preserved Greek temples in the world! Get here first thing when the Forum site opens. You will have it to yourself for at least an hour before the tour groups pile in. The quiet is truly magical.

Amazing historic place where the first modern Olympics were held. It's wonderful stadium, very old and the only one made totally of marble! Huge history and very interesting fact that it's still been used for festivals, the final step of the Marathon run. Awesome. So if you want to try to run on this stadium, you can do it ( about 5 euro for this opportunity).

In front of the Hellenic Parliament, the “changing of the guard” is a must see at this impressive memorial to the Greek military and those men who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The guards Evzones, protect this place with honour and grace. It is an exceptional sight to witness the change of guards, especially on a scorching 32'C day. A unique experience - respect. PS: Truly moving when a senior officer wipes the sweat of an Evzone's forehead. Caring for his soldiers in a place of dignity.

In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes and local ceramics. Sidewalk cafes and family-run tavernas stay open until late, and Cine Paris shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe.

A lovely place for a walk any time of the year, especially with the trees in full bloom! Park is really big, it feel like forest. There is a lake with swans and turtles swimming in it. Lots of banks to sit. It’s so peaceful walking around and listen birds singing. Beautiful especially at night.

The "district of the gods", Anafiotika part of Plaka, is undoubtedly the most picturesque place in Athens. Cobbled alleys and neoclassical houses compose a unique setting that enchants the visitor by traveling to other eras. Throughout the area there are taverns, taverns and cafes, souvenir shops and folk art items, museums, newer monuments and many churches, some real masterpieces of Byzantine and post-Byzantine architecture. Get lost in the alleys and drive to Anafiotika, the special island neighborhood created in the 19th century by the inhabitants of Anafi, famous craftsmen and builders, who worked on the construction of Otto's palace.''
