• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former grand temple located in the heart of Athens, Greece. It was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, a title reflecting his role as the leader of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC under the Athenian tyrants, who aimed to create the greatest temple of the ancient world, but it was only completed during the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, 638 years after the project started. In the Roman era, the temple, which featured 104 massive columns, was celebrated as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues of the ancient world.
• Acropolis Museum - As one of the most prominent museums established in Europe in the 21st century, The New Acropolis Museum showcases the historical archaeological treasures of the Acropolis of Athens.

It offers a unique glimpse into Greece’s past and is a must-visit for any traveler in this timeless city.
• Changing of the Guard Ceremony - A truly unique experience is witnessing the changing of the guards in Athens. The presidential guards, known as Evzones, vigilantly protect the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Hellenic Parliament building around the clock, enduring the coldest winter nights and hottest summer days. Evzones are an elite unit of the Greek army, and being selected as an Evzone is a great honor for a Greek guard.
• Arch of Hadrian - The Arch of Hadrian, commonly referred to in Greek as Hadrian’s Gate, is a monumental gateway that resembles a Roman triumphal arch in some aspects. It is believed that the arch was constructed to commemorate the adventus (arrival) of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and to honor his numerous contributions to the city. The arch features two inscriptions facing opposite directions, naming both Theseus and Hadrian as founders of Athens.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium, or Kallimarmaro, is a versatile stadium in Athens, Greece. As one of Athens’ main historical attractions, it is the only stadium worldwide constructed entirely of marble. A stadium was built on the site of a simple racecourse by the Athenian statesman Lykourgos (Lycurgus) around 330 BC, primarily for the Panathenaic Games. 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.
