Things To Do
Acropolis of Athens (and Parthenon)
The Acropolis is one of the most recognisable historic sites in the world and remains an inspirational monument to the achievements of Ancient Greek civilisation. Tip: Best to go early morning or late afternoon for light and fewer crowds.
Acropolis Museum
Right below the Acropolis, this modern museum houses many original sculptures and finds. Tip: Combine with the Acropolis visit for deeper context.
Hellenic National Archaeological Museum
Greece’s largest archaeological museum. Tip - Allow 2–3 hours for the visit.
Ancient Agora of Athens and Temple of Hephaestus
A walking-friendly historic area that used to be the heart of ancient Athens’ civic life. Tickets: included in some archaeological site passes.
Temple of Olympian Zeus
Temple of Olympian Zeus & surrounding archaeological zone. Impressive ancient temple ruins near the centre of Athens. Tickets: Use the general archaeological e‐ticket site or combine passes. Tip: Easy to drop in as part of a walking route through central Athens.
National Gardens (Πάρκο Εθνικής Ανάπτυξης)
A peaceful green space right in the city centre (by Syntagma / Parliament). Free entry. Great for a gentle outdoor stroll. Tip: Especially nice if guests need a casual relaxed time outdoors between visits.
