Athens Essentials

Athens centers on the Acropolis citadel, home to the Parthenon, the asymmetrical Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. This selection spans millennia, from the ancient Theatre of Dionysus and the marble Odeon of Herodes Atticus to the minimalist Acropolis Museum. Key civic sites include Syntagma Square with the neoclassical Greek Parliament and the all-marble Panathenaic Stadium, host of the first modern Olympics. The list also features the historic Areopagus hill, the panoramic Philopappos Hill, and Ermou Street, a premier shopping thoroughfare dating back to 1883.
