• Acropolis - The Acropolis, which towers over the heart of modern Athens, was the ancient city’s most significant and grand sanctuary, primarily dedicated to its patron goddess, Athena.

• Theater of Dionysus - The Theater of Dionysus Elefthereos is the most renowned open-air theater in ancient Athens and is considered the world’s first theater. It was situated about 3 meters above the temple and was part of the sanctuary of Elefthereos. Dionysus was the main venue for Attic drama as it hosted the Great Dionysia, Athens’ largest theatrical festival.

The monument was renovated in the 1950s and has since hosted cultural events, primarily as part of the Athens Festival.

• Propylaia - A distinctive main entrance leading into the interior is a common feature of religious sites. In ancient Greek architecture, it was customary for any significant religious site to have a primary gate. This major gateway, the Propylaia, holds a unique significance in the Acropolis. It is not merely a gate leading into the sacred area, nor is it just an architectural addition to the main temple complex. The Propylaia plays an exquisite and unique role, representing the generous nature of the Athenian Acropolis. This is why, rather than being a simple gate, the Propylaia is magnificently constructed as a complex and harmonious public monument.

• Parthenon - The Parthenon is recognized as one of the most important cultural sites in the world, serving as a lasting symbol of ancient Greece, democracy, and Western civilization.

• Temple of Olympian Zeus - Also known as the Olympeion or Temple of Olympian Zeus, it was built in honor of Zeus, the father of the gods, who resided at the summit of Mt. Olympus.

• Arch of Hadrian - Hadrian’s Gate in Athens is a Roman arch. It was created in his honor during his visit in 131 AD and provides access to the Temple of Olympian Zeus.

• Panathenaic Stadium - The Panathenaic Stadium is one of the most significant cultural monuments in Athens and Greece in general. Also known as Kallimarmaro, it remains in excellent condition today. As its name suggests, the goddess Athena was worshiped here, and competitions were organized in her honor every year. The project was completed before the 6th century BC, but its final form with precious marble was achieved after a long time.

• Changing of the Guard Ceremony - The Evzones perform the famous “changing of the guard” at Syntagma, in front of the Unknown Soldier monument, every hour. Two Evzones come in front of the monument to replace their colleagues. The Evzones who have been standing motionless guarding the monument begin an impressive march by stretching their limbs, creating a great spectacle. The same steps are followed by the Evzones who are going to replace them. When the ceremony, which lasts about 15 minutes, is over, the Evzones stand still to guard the monument while their tired colleagues return to their barracks to rest.

• Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - The monument of the Unknown Soldier serves as a reference point and tribute to the fallen Greek soldiers on Greece’s two national celebrations of 25/3/1821 & 28/8/1940.

• National Library of Greece - Designed by the Danish architect Theophil Hansen as part of his famous Trilogy of neo-classical structures, which also included the Academy and the University building of Athens.

• Mount Lycabettus - The hill was a rock that the goddess Athena was carrying in her hands, and it fell in Athens when she heard the bad news brought by a crow. At the top of Lycabettus, adorned with the church of Agios Georgios, you can see Athens and the Saronic Gulf.

• Ancient Agora of Athens - The Ancient Agora was the center of public life. On several occasions, the wide open area attracted the attention of the Athenians.

• Museum of the Ancient Agora - The Museum of the Ancient Agora displays a selection of discoveries among the hundreds found over the past 80 years, related to the functioning of the institutions of the Athenian Republic.

• Monastiraki - Monastiraki means “small monastery” in Greek, as a major monastery originally existed in the neighborhood’s main square.
