Athens is the
ancient cultural center of Greece and just a very beautiful and original city. Athens
is an antique city, so start your acquaintance with the most “bearded” sights.
One of these places is the area of Plaka. The oldest historical district of the
city rests under the shadow of a no less ancient hill - the Acropolis.
Labyrinths of narrow shady streets twined with greens and flowers interlace in
a fancy pattern, taking you back in time, slowing down time. Here you should
wander among the old traditional Greek houses, and then wrap up in one of the
hospitable little taverns, in order to be convinced of the Greek cordiality.

Acropolis (Athens)
After a walk through Plaka, do not be lazy to climb the Acropolis.
Everyone probably knows this flat-topped cliff, topped with a classical Greek
temple. Thousands of tourists come to this truly magical place every year who
want to see the most interesting sights of Greece with their own eyes.
The first temples of the Acropolis were laid in the days of the Archaic.
Earlier this place was the residence of the
king. Over time, it began to acquire architectural forms that have remained
virtually untouched by today. So gradually the Acropolis turned into a small
town. Sculptures that were located in the Acropolis, for certain reasons, were
replaced by replicas. Their originals are now in different museums in Europe.
Now, instead of a magnificent structure, there are only ruins. Architects are
trying to restore individual elements of the most significant objects. To
complete this project they will need a lot of years.
Panathinaikos
stadium (Athens)
At the very heart of Athens is a
unique stadium, which is known to the world under the name Panathinaikos.
Tourists pay special attention to this sight of Greece. The oldest structure
was built of white marble. After the restoration of the destroyed elements, the
first Olympic Games were held at the stadium, which are recorded in modern
history. Travelers who are wondering what to visit in Greece should definitely
visit Panathinaikos. In ancient times, the Panafinean Games were held at this
stadium, which were considered the most important festival in Athens.
At the moment, Panathinaikos is used not only as a venue for sports
competitions. Also at the stadium they hold various concerts and exhibitions
that are devoted to Greek culture. Therefore, during a visit to this
attraction, guests of Athens will be able not only to enjoy the views of the
stadium, but also to get a closer look at its history.
