About Athens
From its extraordinary history as the birthplace of European civilization 2,000 years ago to the buzzing modern city of today, Athens is a unique place. The city gets its name from the Greek goddess of wisdom – Athena – and with historic temples and monuments, art galleries, and museums, there’s lots to do for the thinking traveller.
Not so keen on history? Visitors can rummage in quirky bookshops and shop for vinyl in Exarchia or sample the delights of Greek cuisine in picturesque Pláka.
If you’re feeling the lure of the Greek archipelago, it’s easy to take a ferry to Aegina – Athens’ closest island. Or to escape the city hustle, why not take a bus to Mt Parnitha National Park for a hike?
Tourist Attractions in Athens
Acropolis of Athens: Built in 580 BC, this is one of the most striking and complete collections of ancient monuments in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, here you’ll find the famous Parthenon temple as well as countless extraordinary sites, each with historical and mythical significance. Top tip: visit early or late in the day to avoid overheating.
National Archaeological Museum: Want to know how the history of Athens fits into the bigger picture? You’ve come to the right place. This modern and engaging museum explores the history of Greek civilisation from prehistory to the arrival of the Romans, and beyond. Clever curation means that there’s always something new to see, often presented in a modern and surprising way.
Plaka neighbourhood: Colourful winding streets, cute shops, and restaurants make up this largely pedestrianised neighbourhood near the Acropolis. Whether you’re grabbing a bite to eat or soaking up the friendly atmosphere, Plaka is the perfect place for an afternoon stroll. You’ll also find handmade gold and silver jewellery here for much less than in other European cities.
