- Temple of Olympian Zeus - Similar to the Acropolis, the Temple of Olympian Zeus has been a prominent Athenian landmark for ages. The Pillars of Olympian Zeus are part of this ancient outdoor temple dedicated to Athena. The Temple of Olympian Zeus is a partially completed temple dedicated to Zeus, the chief of the Olympian Gods. Its fascinating history and eventual ruin make it an intriguing site to explore, and its size attracts many tourists. It is surrounded by other notable monuments, including the Kallimarmaro Stadium, Hadrian’s Arch, and Zappeion Megaron. Located within walking distance from central Athens, it is 500 meters east of the Acropolis and south of Syntagma Square.
- Hellenic Parliament - The Hellenic Parliament, Greece’s legislative body, is housed in an imposing building known as the Parliament House (Old Royal Palace), which overlooks Constitution Square in Athens. The Greek Parliament, formerly the palace of King Otto, is situated in Syntagma Square, alongside the Monument of the Unknown Soldier, which is guarded around the clock by the Presidential Guard.
- Hadrian’s Library - Built around AD 132, Hadrian’s Library was once the most luxurious public building in the city. It features an internal courtyard and pool surrounded by 100 columns.
- National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) is a cornerstone of modern Greek intellectual life and has a significant international presence. It blends a historic legacy with dynamic growth and active participation in contemporary academia and science. Established by a Royal Decree on April 22, 1837, and originally named “Othonian University” after its founder, King Otto of Bavaria, it is the oldest university in Greece. Initially, it comprised four schools (Theology, Law, Medicine, and Philosophy, which included Mathematics and Applied Sciences) with 52 students. Its first location was a neoclassical house on the north slope of the Acropolis hill, which now houses the Museum of the University’s History.
- The Academy of Athens - Founded by Plato around 387 BC, the Academy of Athens is one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Aristotle studied there for two decades (367 BC – 347 BC) before establishing his own school, the Lyceum. The Academy continued as a skeptical school throughout the Hellenistic period until it ceased to exist after the death of Philo of Larissa in 83 BC.
- Parthenon - The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of Athens. Construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, with decorative work continuing until 432 BC. It is the most significant surviving structure of Classical Greece and is considered the pinnacle of Doric order architecture. Its decorative sculptures are regarded as masterpieces of Greek art.
- Plaka - Plaka is the oldest and most picturesque district in Athens, located just below the Acropolis. The neighborhood is characterized by winding medieval alleyways, romantic narrow steps, neoclassical mansions, and houses with red-tiled roofs and flower-filled balconies. Often referred to as the “neighborhood of the Gods” in Greek literature, Plaka is also known for its traditional Greek taverns and street cafés serving ice-cold frappés.
