• Acropolis - At the Acropolis, visitors can explore the Parthenon, a temple atop the sacred rock dedicated to Goddess Athena, the deity of wisdom. The Propylaea serves as the entrance to this sacred site, while the Temple of Wingless Victory honors Goddess Athena-Nike. The Erechtheum, known for its mythical significance, features the famous Caryatides statues. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a 5,000-seat theater carved into the rock, still hosts music festivals. Nearby, the 3,000-seat Theater of Dionysus was where Athenians enjoyed the timeless works of Sophocles, Aeschylus, Euripides, and Aristophanes.

• Temple of Olympian Zeus - The Temple of Olympian Zeus, once a colossal temple in central Athens, was dedicated to “Olympian” Zeus, reflecting his status as the chief of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC under Athenian tyrants who aimed to create the greatest temple of the ancient world. However, it was only completed during the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. In the Roman era, the temple, with its 104 massive columns, was celebrated as Greece’s largest temple and housed one of the ancient world’s largest cult statues. Unfortunately, its glory was short-lived, as it fell into disuse after being plundered during a barbarian invasion in 267 AD, about a century after its completion. It was likely never repaired and eventually reduced to ruins. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, it was extensively quarried for building materials for other city projects.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaro or “beautiful marble,” is a multi-purpose stadium in Athens, Greece. It is a key historic attraction and the only stadium worldwide built entirely of marble. Originally a simple racecourse, it was transformed into a stadium by Athenian statesman Lycurgus around 330 BC for the Panathenaic Games. Rebuilt in marble by Herodes Atticus, an Athenian Roman senator, by 144 AD, it could seat 50,000 spectators. After Christianity’s rise in the 4th century, it was largely abandoned. Excavated in 1869 and refurbished, it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the first modern Olympics in 1896 and was the venue for four of the nine contested sports. It served various purposes in the 20th century and was again an Olympic venue in 2004. It is the finishing point for the annual Athens Classic Marathon and the last venue in Greece for the Olympic flame handover ceremony to the host nation.

• Mount Lycabettus - Mount Lycabettus is a limestone hill in Athens, standing 300 meters (908 feet) above sea level. Its base is covered with pine trees, and its two peaks feature the 19th-century Chapel of St. George and a theater. From a specific viewpoint (balcony), visitors can enjoy the best panoramic view of the city, from the Acropolis hill to the Aegean Sea.

• Hellenic Parliament - The Hellenic Parliament, located in the Old Royal Palace overlooking Syntagma Square in Athens, is Greece’s supreme democratic institution. It represents the citizens through an elected body of Members of Parliament.

• Changing of the Guard Ceremony - The Presidential Guard is a ceremonial infantry unit that protects the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Presidential Mansion in Athens, Greece. This unit is the last of the Evzones in the Hellenic Army and is closely associated with the traditional Evzone’s uniform, which evolved from the attire worn by Greeks during the Greek War of Independence. The most notable part of this uniform is the fustanella, a kilt-like garment.

• The Academy of Athens - The Academy of Athens is Greece’s national academy and the country’s highest research institution. Established in 1926, it operates under the Ministry of Education’s supervision. The Academy’s main building, a major Athens landmark, was designed as part of an architectural “trilogy” in 1859 by Danish architect Theophil Hansen, alongside the University and the National Library. Funds were provided by magnate Simon Sinas, and the foundation stone was laid on August 2, 1859. Construction progressed rapidly after 1861 under Ernst Ziller’s supervision, but internal conflicts during King Otto’s later years, leading to his ousting in 1862, halted construction until 1864. Work resumed in 1868, but the building wasn’t completed until 1885, costing 2,843,319 gold drachmas, mostly funded by Sinas and, after his death, by his wife Iphigenia. Greek Neo-classical sculptor Leonidas Drosis created the principal multi-figure pediment sculpture, themed on Athena’s birth, based on a design by painter Carl Rahl, winning first prize at the 1873 Vienna Exhibition. Drosis also sculpted the figures of Athena and Apollo with lyre on the Academy’s flanking pillars, and the seated marble figures of Plato and Socrates, executed by Italian sculptor Piccarelli. The Academy complex’s eight smaller pediments are the terra-cotta work of Austrian sculptor Franz Melnitzky. Interior murals and paintings were done by Austrian artist Christian Griepenkerl. On March 20, 1887, Ziller delivered the Academy building to Greek Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis. In the absence of a national Academy, the building housed the Numismatic Museum in 1890, the Byzantine Museum, and the State Archives in 1914. Finally, on March 24, 1926, the building was handed over to the newly established Academy of Athens.

• Ancient Agora of Athens - The Ancient Agora of Athens is the most renowned example of an ancient Greek agora, situated northwest of the Acropolis and bordered on the south by the Areopagus hill and on the west by the Agoraios Kolonos hill, also known as Market Hill. Initially, the Agora served as a commercial, assembly, or residential gathering place. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens has been excavating the ancient Athenian agora since 1931, initially under T. Leslie Shear, Sr., and continuing today under John McK Camp’s direction. After the initial excavation phase, the Hellenistic Stoa of Attalos was reconstructed on the agora’s east side in the 1950s, now serving as a museum and storage and office space for the excavation team. A virtual reconstruction of the Ancient Agora of Athens was created through a collaboration between the American School of Classical Studies at Athens and the Foundation of the Hellenic World. The museum, housed in the Stoa of Attalos, features exhibits related to Athenian democracy. The museum’s collection includes clay, bronze, and glass objects, sculptures, coins, and inscriptions from the 7th to the 5th century BC, as well as pottery from the Byzantine period and the Turkish occupation. The museum’s exhibition showcases art depicting private and public life in ancient Athens. In 2012, a new sculpture exhibition was added, featuring portraits from the Athenian Agora excavation. This new exhibition focuses on idealized gods, officially honored city figures, wealthy Roman citizens of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, 3rd-century citizens, and artworks from private art schools of late antiquity. On the northwest side of the Agora of Athens, atop the Agoraios Kolonos hill, stands the Temple of Hephaestus, a Doric peripteral temple. Hephaestus was the patron god of metalworking, craftsmanship, and fire.

• Plaka - Plaka is an old neighborhood located at the base of the Acropolis hill. It features narrow streets, traditional houses, taverns, and coffee shops, offering free time for lunch and shopping.

• Acropolis Museum - The new Acropolis Museum, situated under the Acropolis’s south slope, primarily houses pediment sculptures, reliefs, and statues found on the sacred rock of the Acropolis, which formed much of its decoration. Among these statues are the well-known female figures with the characteristic archaic smile called ‘Korai,’ such as the Kore of Naxos, the Kore of Chios, and the Kore of Lyons. The museum also features sphinxes, consecrated reliefs like that of Athena in Medication, and consecrated sculptures such as the Moschoforos (a man carrying a calf across his shoulders), the Boy of Kritias, and more.
