Things to do in Athens
The Acropolis
Ever wanted to travel back in time to get a taste of the ancient world? Well now you can, and all you need to do is visit Acropolis, the most famous landmark in the entire country of Greece. After all, the anticipation to see the historical wonders of Greece during your flight from Melbourne (MEL) to Athens (ATH) should be remedied by seeing the grandest of them all.
Officially recognized by UNESCO as a world heritage site, Acropolis is the core of Athens and served as its fortified town, back in the Bronze Age. This spectacular place will take you straight to the Greek Classical age, with mesmerizing buildings such as the Parthenon, the Temple of Athena and the Erectheion.
The Ancient Agora
The landmark of the Ancient Agora offers another chance to witness some of the wonders of ancient Greeks, as it holds place to the Temple of Hephaestus, the most well-preserved temple in Greece. You can also visit the museum of the Agora, a reconstructed building. Agora is also connected to the Acropolis by a very short walk and is right next to the Roman Forum.
Syntagma Square
To see the best of what modern Greece has to offer, you should check out the Syntagma square. Some of the grandest places here are the Parliament building, as well as the Grande Bretagne Hotel, which was restored recently. Another event that you cannot miss is the changing of the guards right in front of the Parliament building, which occurs every hour.
