Things to do and places to see in Athens

There is no need to introduce this iconic city. Athens is the capital of Greece and its largest city. It's one of the oldest cities in the World with historical records reaching back 3,400 years. There is no need to say that the city is full of breathtaking places, monuments and buildings. It's hard to decide which sites and places to recommend as there are so many. We did our best to select the top 3. See our picks below.

1. The Acropolis: This stunning citadel located on a hill above the city is probably one of the most known ancient sites in the world. Its age is estimated at approximately 2,500 years. It consists of a number of smaller buildings like the Erechtheion, Temple of Athena Nike or Parthenon. Most of them are in ruins today but the spirit of the past is still intact. It's a must-see when visiting Athens.
2. Temple of Poseidon: If you are a fan of Greek mythology you must see the Temple of Poseidon. The palace of the God Of Sea is located on Cape Sounio. The temple was built to guide all sailors coming back home from their voyage at the sea. Today only a skeleton of a marble temple is standing on Caoe Sounio but it's worth a visit.
3. Odeon of Herodes Atticus: This is a fabulous site. The Roman built concert hall was first built in 161 AD. It was covered with a cedar wood roof at the time and it had a capacity of 5,000 guests. It was totally destroyed in 275 and was hidden in the rubble up to 1848 when Kyriakos Pittakis took up the excavation of the site. The theatre was restored in 1950 and it's in use today. We hope you can manage to experience a concert in Odeon as the acoustics of the marble structure will amaze you for sure.
