Discover Athens
As the capital of Greece, Athens attracts thousands of tourists every year who wish to visit this glorious city. The numerous monuments that can be found only a breath away from The Athenaeum Hotel bear witness to the rich history and culture of the country.
The most widely known historical landmark in the region is, of course, the Acropolis, which stands out with its exquisite architectural style. It is worth getting a guided tour and learning more about the Parthenon, the Erechtheion with the Caryatids, and the impressive Propylae. The newly built Acropolis Museum will also impress you with its spectacular exhibits and artifacts. The temple of the Olympian Zeus is yet another place worth visiting, where you will see the remaining columns of the ancient edifice.
While you are here, you shouldn’t miss out on the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. In the Roman Agora, which is situated next to the Ancient Agora, you will also find the Tower of the Winds, which is indeed the first meteorological station in the world since it was used by the astronomer Andronikos as a sundial, a weathervane, and a compass.
Contemporary Athens also mesmerizes visitors with its neoclassical buildings that have often played a significant role in the history of the country, such as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Syntagma Square, the Greek Parliament, and the National Library. The National Garden also captivates visitors with its mesmerizing aroma and the large variety of flora across its land.
If you want to become acquainted with ancient Greek history and culture, the National Archaeological Museum is the perfect choice, as it showcases some incredible artifacts from the past.
