• Acropolis - The Athens sightseeing tour begins with a visit to the impressive naturally fortified hill of the Acropolis. This tour takes visitors on a journey through ancient times in one of the world’s oldest cities, regarded as the cradle of Western civilization, and the birthplace of philosophy, theater, and democracy.

Upon passing through the monumental gate of Propylaea, visitors will see the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the Parthenon. Enjoy a panoramic view of Athens and the Piraeus port. At the base of the Acropolis hill, you’ll find the ancient theater of Dionysos (the world’s oldest theater), the Odeon of Herodus Atticus, and the Areopagus (Mars Hill).

• Propylaea - The first propylon, or gate, was built during the era of Peisistratos (mid-sixth century BC) after the Acropolis became a sanctuary dedicated to Athena. A new propylon, constructed between 510-480 BC, was destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC and later repaired after the Persian Wars, during the fortification of the Acropolis by Themistokles and Kimon. The monumental Propylaia admired by modern visitors was part of the grand Periklean building program, erected between 437-432 BC, following the completion of the Parthenon, by architect Mnesikles.

• Parthenon - The Parthenon is a temple dedicated by the Athenians to Goddess Athena Parthenos (Virgin), the patron of their city, and is the most magnificent creation of Athenian democracy at its peak. It is also the finest monument on the Acropolis in terms of both design and execution, built between 447 and 438 BC.

• Erechtheion - The Erechtheion is a temple atop the Acropolis, designed by architect Mnesikles. It was a complex structure built in the last two decades of the 5th century BC, replacing the ancient Temple of Athena Polias, part of which had been destroyed by the Persians sixty years earlier. The new temple was divided into two chambers: an eastern room dedicated to Athena, housing the goddess’ wooden cult statue, and a lower western room that contained shrines of Poseidon-Erechtheus, Hephaistos, and Boutes, the brother of Erechtheus.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about an ancient stadium from the 4th century BC. Unlike typical archaeological sites, there are no ruins here. This stadium was not rebuilt in modern times, but in 1896, during the first modern Olympic Games, its marble covering was renovated, funded by Georgios Averof. The current shape of the stadium mirrors that of the ancient stadium from the 4th century BC.

• Change of Guards - Unique to Greece are the Evzones and the Changing of the Guard at the presidential mansion, which takes place every day, every hour.

• The Academy of Athens - The Academy of Athens was established with the Constitutional Decree of March 18th, 1926, as an Academy of Sciences, Humanities, and Fine Arts. This building is a replica of the Propylaea of the Acropolis.

• Mount Lycabettus - Lycabettus Hill is the highest point in central Athens. Thousands of Athenians and tourists climb to the top each year to enjoy the view from a height of 277 meters.

• Plaka - The Plaka area is the old historical neighborhood of Athens, located under the Acropolis, around the northeastern slopes of the Sacred Rock, between Syntagma and Monastiraki metro stations. Its village-like atmosphere, neoclassical buildings, quaint cafes, souvenir shops, and museums make it a favorite among visitors and Athenians who stroll along its narrow streets. Plaka attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists throughout the year.

• Monastiraki Flea Market - The largest, best, and most popular flea market in Athens is undoubtedly the Monastiraki Flea Market, a shopper’s paradise situated right in the heart of Athens, at the legendary Monastiraki Square.

• Ancient Agora of Athens -

The Agora was the heart of ancient Athens, the center of political, commercial, administrative, and social activity, as well as the religious and cultural hub, and the seat of justice.

• Temple of Hephaestus - The Temple of Hephaestus in Athens (also known as Thissio) is among the best-preserved ancient temples in Greece. It was dedicated to Hephaestus, the Olympian god of fire.
• Stoa of Attalos - The Stoa of Attalos dominates the north side of the slope of the Acropolis and is the main monument and museum at the Ancient Agora of Athens, following the Temple of Hephaestus.
• National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - The University of Athens was founded on May 3, 1837, by King Otto of Greece (in Greek, Óthon) and was named in his honor as the Othonian University. It was the first university in the liberated Greek state and in the surrounding area of Southeast Europe.
• National Library of Greece - The National Library of Greece, founded by Ioannis Kapodistrias in 1832, aims to locate, collect, organize, describe, and preserve the enduring evidence of Greek culture and its evolution over time, as well as significant representative evidence of human intellectual production.
• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital, Athens. It was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, a name derived from his role as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, but it was not completed until the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.
• Temple of Athena Nike - The Temple of Athena Nike is a temple on the Acropolis of Athens, dedicated to the goddesses Athena and Nike. Built around 420 BC, the temple is the earliest fully Ionic temple on the Acropolis.
