Athens is an important part of ancient Greek history, having set the basis for the past two millenniums in European ascension and culture. It holds returns of various eras that created the picture of the modern world we see today, penetrating the streets and houses and merging with the echoes of the past.
Places to visit in Athens are Parthenon on top of Acropolis Rock, Lycabetus Hill, the various museums, the National Garden, Plaka district with the traditional market Monastiraki, the Panathinaikon Stadium and many other interesting sites, scattered around the districts or hidden in the busy streets of Athens.
The prefecture of Attica has so many more interesting places holding a special spot on the Greek history, and in particular on the ancient periods. A tour around the prefecture will bring you close to mythical places, such as Marathon,
where the famous battle took place and where you can find a very interesting museum, Sounion where you can admire the Temple of Poseidon (5th century BC) and remind yourself of the tragic tale of the returning of Theseus and the temples of Dimitra and Artemis in Elefssina and Vravrona.
