Not to be missed

• Monuments: Keeping watch over Athens is one of the most recognizable monuments in the world and a universal symbol of the beginnings of Western civilization: the Acropolis. A visit to the Acropolis includes a tour of other buildings of great historical significance, like the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike.

• The Ancient Agora: Famed marketplace that was the pulsing heart of the city in Socrates and Plato’s day. Excavations include temples and a concert hall, and the museum houses fascinating smaller pieces sometimes thousands of years old.

• Pláka: A popular and very touristic area whose restaurants and souvenir shops line the narrow streets.
