Local Attractions
The Acropolis
Historical landmark
2 kms
In Greek culture, there is no greater achievement than the world-famous Parthenon atop the Acropolis of Athens. Though it has not been in use for many centuries, it still holds power over local residents and tourists alike.
The Acropolis Museum is located in the historical area of Makriyianni, southeast of the Rock of the Acropolis, on Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, Athens. It is only 300 metres from the Acropolis and approximately two kilometres from Syntagma Square, the main square of the city of Athens. The Museum entrance is located at the beginning of the pedestrian walkway of Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, which constitutes the central route for the unified network of the city’s archaeological sites. The Acropolis metro station is on the east side of the Museum site.
One's love for Athens begins in Plaka. It is located under the Sacred Rock of the Acropolis and it is by far the quaintest neighborhood of Athens and a morning stroll there is something more than that: it is becoming familiar with the recent history of the city, a certain sweet flashback to the past, when life was simpler.
Plaka is full of neoclassical buildings, with houses from previous centuries (see on number 27 of Tripodon Street) that give a feeling of a village inside the capital itself.
