- Acropolis - Walk on the historic grounds where, thousands of years ago, significant developments in global philosophy, politics, and science took place. Explore ancient monuments of immense cultural and historical value and personally experience the grandeur and splendor of ancient Greek times. Begin with the Acropolis, which translates to “the edge of the city” in Greek, the highest geographical and spiritual point according to ancient Greeks.
- Parthenon - Atop this sacred hill stands the Parthenon, a pinnacle of ancient Greek architecture, where the magnificence of ancient Greece is evident in every marble piece. This architectural masterpiece embodies the finest achievements of human spirit and intellect, eagerly awaiting the return of its renowned sister marbles.
- Propylaia - The Propylaea served as the grand entrance to the Acropolis of Athens and was one of several public works commissioned by the Athenian leader Pericles to rebuild the Acropolis after the Persian Wars.
- Temple of Athena Nike - The Temple of Athena Nike, located on the Acropolis of Athens, is dedicated to the goddesses Athena and Nike. Constructed around 420 BC, it is the earliest fully Ionic temple on the Acropolis. Positioned prominently on a steep bastion at the southwest corner of the Acropolis, to the right of the entrance, the Propylaea. Unlike the Acropolis proper, a walled sanctuary accessed through the Propylaea, the Victory Sanctuary was open, entered from the Propylaea’s southwest wing and a narrow stair on the north. The bastion’s sheer walls were protected on the north, west, and south by the Nike Parapet, named for its frieze of Nikai celebrating victory and offering sacrifices to their patronesses, Athena and Nike.
- Theater of Dionysus - The Theater of Dionysus is an ancient Greek theatre in Athens, situated on the south slope of the Acropolis hill, originally part of the sanctuary of Dionysus Eleuthereus. The first orchestra terrace was built on the site around the mid- to late-sixth century BC, hosting the City Dionysia. The theatre reached its peak in the fourth century BC under the epistates of Lycurgus, with a capacity of up to 17,000, and remained in use until the Roman period. It fell into decay during the Byzantine era and was not identified, excavated, and restored to its current state until the nineteenth century.
- Acropolis Museum - At the base of the Acropolis Hill, in the shadow of the majestic Parthenon, lies a modern gem that houses some of the most significant ancient Greek statues and artworks, the Acropolis Museum.
- Arch of Hadrian - The Arch of Hadrian, commonly known in Greek as Hadrian’s Gate, is a monumental gateway resembling a Roman triumphal arch. It spanned an ancient road from the center of Athens, Greece, to the complex of structures on the eastern side of the city, including the Temple of Olympian Zeus.
- Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, colloquially known as the Columns of Olympian Zeus, is a significant ancient temple in the heart of Athens. Although its construction began in the 6th century BC, it was only completed during the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. It was the largest temple in Greece during the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
- Panathenaic Stadium - A stadium was constructed on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) around 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. It was rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator, by 144 AD and had a capacity of 50,000 seats. After the rise of Christianity in the 4th century, it was largely abandoned. The stadium was excavated in 1869 and hosted the Zappas Olympics in 1870 and 1875. After refurbishment, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for 4 of the 9 contested sports. It was used for various purposes in the 20th century and was once again used as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon and the last venue in Greece from where the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation takes place.
- Akadimia (Academy) - The Academy of Athens is Greece’s national academy and the highest research establishment in the country. Established in 1926, it operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. The Academy’s main building is one of Athens’ major landmarks.
- National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - The University of Athens has been continuously operating since its establishment in 1837 and is the oldest higher education institution of the modern Greek state and the first contemporary university in both the Balkan Peninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, it is one of the largest universities by enrollment in Europe, with over 69,000 registered students.
The University of Athens was founded on 3 May 1837 by King Otto of Greece and was named in his honor, Othonian University. It was the first university in the liberated Greek state and in the surrounding area of Southeast Europe as well. It was also the second academic institution after the Ionian Academy. This fledgling university consisted of four faculties: Theology, Law, Medicine, and Arts (which included applied sciences and mathematics). During its first year of operation, the institution was staffed by 33 professors, while courses were attended by 52 students and 75 non-matriculated “auditors.”
- National Library of Greece - The National Library of Greece is located near the center of Athens. It was designed by the Danish architect Theophil Freiherr von Hansen, as part of his famous Trilogy of neo-classical buildings, including the Academy of Athens and the original building of the Athens University. It was founded by Ioannis Kapodistrias.
- Mount Lycabettus - Lycabettus Hill is a prominent hill in Athens, featuring the small church of Agios Georgios at its summit and a cable car. Lycabettus is the second highest point in the Athens basin after Turkovounia, rising to 277 meters above sea level and 227 meters above the city.
According to legend, the Goddess Athena was saddened by bad news brought by a crow, which is why crows turned black.
- Plaka - The historic neighborhood of Plaka in Athens is nestled around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, featuring labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Built atop the residential areas of ancient Athens, it is known as the “Neighborhood of the Gods” due to its proximity to the Acropolis and numerous archaeological sites.
- Glyfada - Glyfada is a suburb in South Athens, located along the Athens Riviera. It stretches from the foot of the Hymettus mountain to the Saronic Gulf and is the largest of Athens’ southern suburbs.
- Lake Vouliagmeni - On the return to Athens, a stop will be made at one of the most picturesque locations. Vouliagmeni Lake, in the heart of the Athenian Riviera, is a hidden gem of Attica’s natural beauty. Lake Vouliagmeni (“Sunken Lake”) is a small brackish-water lake fed by underground currents seeping through the mass of Mount Hymettus, located south of Vouliagmeni.
- Varkiza - Varkiza, also known as Alianthos, is a suburb of greater Athens, forming part of the municipality of Vari-Voula-Vouliagmeni in southern Attica.
- Archaeological Site of Sounion - Cape Sounion is the promontory at the southernmost tip of the Attic peninsula, 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) south of the town of Lavrio (ancient Thoricus), and 70 kilometers (43 mi) southeast of Athens. It is part of the Lavreotiki municipality, East Attica, and is 59.6 km away from Athens. Cape Sounion is renowned for its Temple of Poseidon, one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens. Its remains are perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea.
- Temple of Poseidon - The ancient Greek Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, constructed between 444–440 BC, is one of the major monuments of the Golden Age of Athens. This Doric temple overlooks the sea at the end of Cape Sounion, standing at nearly 60 meters (200 ft) high.
