The Parthenon is the main ancient structure on the Acropolis, a hill in the center of Athens. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the symbol of Athens and the most famous surviving structures from ancient Greece.

Plaka will be one of the most enchanting places you visit in Athens, even though it is geared towards tourists it has retained a charm and picturesque quality. Plaka is a neighborhood at the foot of the Acropolis constructed on the same site as ancient residential areas. Tourists come here for shopping and to enjoy the many good restaurants. There are outdoor cafes, many pedestrian streets, street musicians and public squares. It is a good idea to combine a walk threw Plaka with your visit to the Acropolis and its museum.



On the southern slope of the Acropolis, the pedestrian street of Dionysiou Areopagitou is the site of two ancient performance venues – the Dionysos Theatre and the Odeion Theatre of Herodes Atticas. The only way of seeing the Odeion up close is by attending a performance or from the Acropolis. The Odeion of Herodes Atticus is an important venue for the Greek festival which takes place in Summer in Athens and Epidavros.

Go beyond Athens to the spectacular Cape Sounion, and see the ruins of the Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology. Admire the views of the Aegean Sea. Many famous writers and poets have placed their signatures on this temple, marvel at the carvings left by Lord Byron, an English Romantic poet from the 1800s, and hear about the legend of Aegeus. Cape Sounion is a 69 km (43-mile) drive from the country’s capital, so you can see the sights and still be back in time for dinner. Drive on the coastal road along the Saronic Gulf from the capital through some of the city’s most beautiful suburbs, including Vouliagmeni, Varkiza, and Glyfada, the largest southern suburb, known for its fashionable atmosphere and upmarket boutiques and café. It is best to rent a car to enjoy the scenic drive and stop along the way to enjoy the views.
