Places to visit in Athens are a testament to the city’s rich and fascinating history of political change from the Ancient Greeks to today. With its honey coloured marble column rising from an architectural base, the Parthenon is an architectural wonder to see here. Walk past the stoic pillars of Ancient Agora (the market place of early Greece), or visit the impressive sites like Parthenon the Acropolis, Filopappos Hill, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the National Gardens and beyond. Visit the Temple of Poseidon to appreciate its breathtaking beauty or spend some time sting at the staircase of Theatre of Dionysus and imagine the masterpieces of Euripedes and Sophocles—Athens will keep you on your toes. Startling beauty amidst squalor, modernity juxtaposed with tradition—Athens is every traveller’s dream come true.
