Parthenon

Acropolis Museum
This glass construction stands in stark contrast to the ancient wonders close by, and houses many of Ancient Greece's most valuable treasures. From statues of gods and goddesses to Grecian urns and pieces of now-destroyed temples, there is plenty to admire.
-
Syntagma Square
This is Athens' main square, an oasis where you can find great places to eat and drink. Take time to walk around the plaza and admire the pretty fountains and surrounding buildings.

Ancient Agora of Athens
In Ancient Greece, the agora had a similar function to the forum you would later find in a Roman city. This was the main gathering place, where people could worship the gods, discuss philosophy and buy goods from the market. There is also a museum here with artefacts from the original buildings.

Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The odeon was where ancient Greeks performed plays, recited poetry and sang songs. This outdoor performance space dates from the year 161 B.C.
