The Athens historical landmarks are really the best option to visit. To go to the city of Athens is to visit a lot of historical sites, which do not exist anywhere else in the world. Although the years go by, these sites are undoubtedly the best thing that all Greece has, visiting these “magic” places is to connect with the ancient world.  One could say that Athens is the place of the millenary culture, the place where the first thinkers of history appeared and also the first civilization. #travel #greece #history #culture#athens

Every trip to Athens has to start with a visit to the Acropolis, where everything was born. The Acropolis is an important place in the development of history, so you must know it thoroughly. It’s a unique and worthwhile place. From the top of the mountain you will have one of the best views of Athens, and you will also be able to see another of the historical monuments that can be found on Greek territory. * At the Acropolis you can also see The Propylaeans, in fact this is the first thing you see, as it is the entrance to the site. #travel #acropolis #greece #athens

The Parthenon is the center of the Acropolis. It consists of 46 wooden columns covered in ivory and gold, which are still standing, thanks to constant restoration and although on many occasions there are cranes that spoil the pictures,it is undoubtedly a place with a great mystique. It was built in honor of the goddess Athena, protector of Athens, besides having a giant statue in the middle of the building. The best time to go to the Parthenon is either very early in the morning, noon or late afternoon, since the rest of the day the large number of tourists avoid enjoying this monument quietly

A place that despite having a short time of existence quickly became a very visited place by tourists. Your entrance fee is paid separately from the Acropolis. The structure of the museum is very modern, made of steel and glass, it holds many collections of the remains of Greek civilization, as well as the statues of the Caryatids. There are more than 4 thousand pieces in its different exhibitions. #travel #acropolis #museum #culture #greece

A historical and commercial district of Athens, you can’t miss it, it’s near the Acropolis, it’s full of restaurants, so after walking through its narrow and steep streets that look like a maze nothing better than enjoying a delicious meal. The colorfulness in each of its houses makes it a charming place, undoubtedly beautiful. There are also shops to buy the little souvenirs we always want to take home or give to friends. #travel #plaka #history #athens #greece
