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. #athen #greece #history #landmarks #magic

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. #athen #greece #acropolis #unique #mountain #view

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 quietly. #parthenon

The ruins of these spectacular works that were built in ancient times still remain. Located in a large green esplanade, it allows you to see the columns, although there are still 15 standing of the 104 that were built in marble. There you can see Hadrian’s Gate, which is an arch more than 15 meters high and at the time served to separate the old city from the modern, despite the years, the greatness of the place remains. And of course there is the Temple of Zeus that was built in his honor, at the time there was a statue, but it was destroyed over the years. #temple #zeus #athen #greece
