Acropolis of Athens
MMonaLisa786Amazing view for my 40th birthday! we bought a ticket online on get your guide which was value for money rather then queuing up and paying it saved time to see 6 of the main sites. If you are coming to Athens I recommend not missing this - you feel like you are stepping back in time soaking in the history and the views of the magnificent buildings. Tip bring good trainers or shoes with good grip as people were tripping on the smooth marble at the top which is easily done. Take in the views and marvel at Athens it is a beautiful view and one I will treasure
Acropolis Museum
MMonaLisa786Amazing place modern but with amazing history if you love Ancient Greek history! you can easily can spend 2 hours here looking at all the relics. I like that you can scan the barcode and there is free audio guide which the museum provides. I really enjoyed the museum after the acropolis it was fantastic day out. It has a lovely shop and cafe and you can see a beautiful sunset from there. Well worth the visit!
Parthenon
老老少皆宜(程世荣)Athens is a city with many cultural relics, especially the temples. We visited many temples in Greece. When we took a boat tour of the Aegean Sea, we also visited the famous temples on the island. Greece is still very cultural.
Temple of Olympian Zeus
WwwwellllThe scene must be accompanied by a background story, otherwise it will only look at the ruins of a pile of stone pillars. Limestone, the roof is built in marble. Supported by 34 Corinthian columns about 17 meters high, 13 long and 6 wide. Its gables and interior hall porch are beautifully carved marble, and there are many Athens-style statues in the glaze.
Academy of Athens
LLavender and SunOn March 20, 1887, Ziller handed over the building of the "Sinaean Academy" to the Greek Prime Minister. The Athens Museum of the Coin was opened in 1890, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum and National Archives were renovated in 1914. On March 24, 1926, the building was transferred to the newly established Athenian Academy of Sciences.
Plateia Omonoias
悠悠然上路Concordia Square is located in the center of Athens and is an important transportation hub. The famous Women's Street and Plaka Old Town are nearby. It is said that the security in the Concordia Square area is a bit chaotic, but we feel it is okay. Of course, you should be careful in all aspects when you go out. We went to Athens in September 2015, just in time for the Greek general election. Concordia Square was very lively with various activities and interviews by various reporters.
Hadrian's Arch
金金冈金冈From here, cross the road across the road to the Acropolis on the pilgrimage road. At the foot of the mountain, this old city street is worth a walk, a bit like Macau. The arch is in the park, close to the Constitution Square.
National Archaeological Museum
AAnonymous UserBeautiful. Stone carvings, gold tools, bronze, colored pottery, all show the exquisite art, culture and scientific level of ancient Greek people. Especially the ancient Greek bronze gear set excavated in recent years is considered by the American computer textbooks to be the first human appliance with computing power.
Monastiraki Flea Market
MMiss ThaiIt is a very busy area - but has so many nice shops and restaurants and street vendors.It is particularly nice in the evenings (though more crowded) in the summer with the sun down and less heat.On the weekends it seems there are even more street vendors.
