Athens: Attractions and more...

Acropolis, which was the original location of the walled city, is definitely worth a visit. Even today, the examples of architecture from the classical era can be found. The climb to the top of the Acropolis is steep, but is well worth the view of the entire city spread below.

Another important attraction is Greece’s most famous temple, the Parthenon; although it is not completely restored, it still manages to impress its visitors. The Temple of Athena Nike and the Tomb of Erechtheus are other attractions.

The Acropolis Museum houses the sculptures from the Pantheon amongst other things, and the Benaki Museum displays an extensive collection of Greek art. The National Archaeological Museum has a very rich display of findings in the last few centuries.

There are several places to be explored in the Attica plains surrounding the city. The Monastery at Kaisariani and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion warrant a visit.
