What to see in Athens

Athens is a city where antiquity harmoniously coexists with modern life. The birthplace of democracy, the birthplace of great thinkers and myths, the capital with a multi-layered history and a lively atmosphere: from marble ruins to cozy streets of Plaka and bustling markets of Monastiraki. Visitors come here for the spirit of history, Mediterranean light and urban energy, and often wonder what to see first.

Manufactures and facilities

Among the man-made attractions are the Acropolis with the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the temple of Nike Apteros, the majestic Temple of Olympian Zeus and the ancient Athenian Agora. The city also features the Tesseion Temple, the Wind Tower, the National Library and the Presidential Palace, the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and many ancient churches and monasteries, including Caesariani and the Monastery of St. David. Planetarium, Attic Zoological Park, monuments to Plato and Sophocles, pedestrian streets of Hadrian and markets like Monastiraki add diversity and depth to the urban landscape.

Natural attractions and places

The natural attractions around Athens are not inferior to the cultural: the hills of Lycavittos and Philopappos offer breathtaking panoramas of the Acropolis and the bay, and the Imittos mountains and green parks of the city give shade and freshness. The coast of Attica beckons the beaches of Voula, Glyfada, Megalo Kavouri and the club bays of Alimos, where you can combine sightseeing with sea recreation. The National Garden, the traditional Dimaki Park, and the nearby caves and archaeological grounds offer tranquil routes for walking and picnics.
