The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel situated on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the city. It served as a point of worship and a political and religious center in ancient Greece, particularly from the 6th to 1st centuries BCE. Inside the Acropolis, you can marvel at the architectural brilliance of ancient Greek architects and craftsmen, and look at several notable monuments and buildings such as the Parthenon and the Temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis symbolizes the birthplace of democracy and stands as a testament to the intellectual and cultural achievements of ancient Greece.
Located in the historic area of Makryianni, the Museum stands about 300 meters southeast of the Parthenon. Its entrance is adjacent to the start of Dionysiou Areopagitou pedestrian walkway, which links it to the Acropolis and other key archeological sites in Athens. The top floor of the Museum, the Parthenon Gallery, offers a panoramic view of the Acropolis and modern Athens.
Located under the shadow of the Acropolis, Monastiraki is a unique neighborhood that has been inhabited for six thousand consecutive years! It is among the oldest, most historic and important neighborhoods in Western Culture.
Plaka, also known as the 'neighborhood of the gods', is the oldest neighborhood of Athens and among the oldest in Europe. Anafiotika, the so-called 'hidden neighborhood of Athens', due to its maze-like alleys that make it hard to find for outsiders, is in total contrast to the rest of the city.
The Temple of Poseidon is an ancient Greek temple on Cape Sounion, Greece, dedicated to the god Poseidon. There is evidence of the establishment of sanctuaries on the cape from as early as the 11th century BC.
