Drive past the neo-classical buildings of the Academy, the University, and the National Library, and on to Omonia Square before moving on to Syntagma or “Constitution Square” (the heart of central Athens). Opposite is the Parliament building, where the National Guards (Evzones) in their colorful uniform skirts and pompom shoes guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. See the Pan-Athenian Stadium, the all-white marble stadium where history was made as the site of the first modern Olympic Games. Nearby, the Temple of Zeus is separated from modern Athens by the tall stone structure Hadrian’s Arch. Also view the Pnyx , the Theseum and the Agora with the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos. Then, on to the Acropolis, at the base of which stand the ancient theatres of Dionysos, and the still used Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

We start from Acropolis. The Acropolis of Athens is a prominent ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens, Greece. It is one of the most significant and recognizable archaeological sites in the world. The Acropolis is home to several important ancient buildings, the most famous being the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, the patroness of the city.
The Propylaea is the monumental gateway to the Acropolis in Athens, acting as the grand entrance to the sacred hill. Constructed between 437 and 432 BCE, during the height of Athenian power under the leadership of Pericles, the Propylaea is an architectural marvel and an essential part of the Acropolis.
