CITY
OF ATHENS
let
us point out the highlights of athens in order to make the most
of your time during your visit
acropolis
holly rock It is impossible to describe the rock
of Acropolis since words can not express the feeling
and the magic you get when you visit it. It was built
the 5th century BC during the glorious democracy times
of Pericleous to celebrate the rise of the city state
of Athens to the zenith of its power. Famous sculptors
and architects, like Phidias, Mnecicles and Iktinos
created a monument that would reverberate down the century
the glory of this city.
Don't miss Sanctuary of Dionyssos, at the south side
of Acropolis where one can see the most ancient theater
of Greece, the Roman market which used to be the religious,
financial and social center of the city during the Roman
period, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, an impressive temple
dedicated to the father of the Gods, Zeus, and the Ancient
Agora, a very interested archaeological site of Athens,
in the north side of Acropolis, which used to be the financial
and social center of Athens in ancient times and Keramikos
the ancient cemetery of Athens, an open art gallery of
today.
plaka The neighbourhood of the olympic Gods.
The most picturesque area of Athens. Narrow small roads, numerous
taverns, restaurants, coffee shops, small picturesque squaresand
beautiful interesting corners. All the houses are charecterised
as 'diatiritea' so with the renovation they keep their original
appearance.
monastiraki
A crowdy, busy part of the town where a constant bazaar takes
place. Don't hesitate to bargain. Some columns from the Hadrian's
library, a mosque which has been turned into a library and
a beautiful small church are some of the monuments of this
area.
