Acropolis of Athens

TALAL MOHAMMAD HUSSEINY

The best and most famous attraction in Athens.It is the most significant historical location in Athens. It is where all the main ruins are.



Acropolis Museum

TALAL MOHAMMAD HUSSEINY

This is the most important attraction in Athens and it is a must see...You do learn a lot about history and you get to enjoy great views but it is not amazing or wow but definitely better than average.



Parthenon

环球史蒂夫

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury. 1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC). 2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire). 3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin). 4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque. 5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion. 6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

National Archaeological Museum

TALAL MOHAMMAD HUSSEINY

This is a must see for any history buff and anyone interested in learning Greek history. The price of admittance is acceptable and you have the opportunity to see and read many things. Superb museum!



Syntagma Square

金冈金冈

The city center subway transfer station, the airport bus X95 terminal, watch the changing of the guard in front of the Capitol, there is a National Garden next to it, there are ruins of an ancient Roman bath, very close to the Acropolis, the old town at the foot of the mountain is worth a walk, there are many Portuguese streets and buildings like those in Macau.



Temple of Olympian Zeus

wwwellll

The scene must be watched with the background story, otherwise you will just be looking at a pile of stone pillars. The temple is built with limestone, and the roof is made of marble. It is supported by 34 Corinthian columns about 17 meters high, 13 long and 6 wide. There are exquisite marble carvings on the gables and the porch of the inner hall, and there are many Athenian-style statues on the eaves.



Panathenaic Stadium

小思文

The Athens Stadium is a more important place to hold the sports games. The facilities of the entire stadium are very many. The sports competitions here are also very rich. The scale of the Athens Stadium is quite large. I like to come here to visit and play.



Hadrian's Library

小思文

Hadrian Library is also a very interesting place. The library is very rich in introduction. You can understand the history here in advance. The high city wall part can be visited up close. It is also the destruction of the history experienced. There are not many residual parts.



Roman Forum of Athens

海布里岁月

The Roman Agora is located in the Plaka district, which is the most ancient neighborhood in Athens with Greek culture and style. The "Tower of the Winds", the most ancient Greek relic in the Roman Agora, is well preserved in the Plaka district. It was built around the 1st century AD and is an octagonal building. There are different reliefs of the wind god on each of the exterior walls, which are vividly and beautifully carved. Timekeeping tools such as water clocks and sundials are placed inside the wind tower, showing the progress of technology at that time. In addition, the remaining Athena Arch and the few remaining stone pillars in the Roman Market are also places where tourists in the Plaka district can visit.

Hellenic Parliament Foundation for Parliamentarism and Democracy

金冈金冈

Located in the city center, the change of guard is worth seeing, just on the Constitution Square subway station, there is also a national garden nearby, an ancient Roman bathing site, three philosophers bronze statues, an arch, a pavilion, and a walk.
