The Acropolis, the symbol of the city, will amaze you with its emblematic monuments, such as the Parthenon, dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena Parthenon, the Erechtheion, dedicated to Athena Polias, protector of the city, and Poseidon, the Propylaea, the monumental gates of the Acropolis, and so on. You can then stroll through the ancient Agora, the heart of political and economic life in antiquity, and the Roman Agora to discover the Tower of the Winds, a true masterpiece of engineering. The site of Kerameikos, the ancient pottery district, will reveal the secrets of ancient burial rites. Roman history buffs will enrich their knowledge with Hadrian's Gate, Hadrian's Library and the gigantic temple dedicated to Zeus Olymoien. Last but not least, the Kalimarmaro, the ancient stadium renovated for the modern Olympic Games in 1896, will give you a taste of sports history. Finally, in the heart of the city, you can take a break in the Zappion Brothers Park and relax in the National Garden. Or stroll through the picturesque alleys of Plaka and Psiri. You'll find many shops, bars and tavernas. You can also go up to the heights and let yourself be enchanted by the magic of the hills of Athens. They offer breathtaking panoramic views and are still home to sites that are steeped in history.
