Acropolis

Acropolis is the most famous landmark of Athens and for entire Greece Since we are on a panoramic tour we won't be able to visit it in detail but we will try fee photo stops for Acropolis. The nation of Greece has a very deep-rooted connection with its history. This has been preserved in the form of several iconic monuments and museums across the country. One such is the Acropolis of Athens, one of the foremost specimens of Grecian culture. Built atop a massive hell, the citadel comprises the ruins of several historic buildings including the Parthenon. The Acropolis is also one of the foremost tourist hubs of South-Eastern Europe..The Acropolis of Athens is said to have stood for millennia and in this time, it has experienced a fair share of history. The structures within the citadel are quite significant chronicles of ancient stories.

Plaka

The Plaka is the oldest section of Athens. Most of the streets have been closed to automobile traffic, though you should still keep a watchful eye for a speeding motorcycle or delivery truck. At one time it was the nightclub district, but most of these closed down when the government outlawed amplified music in the neighborhood in the seventies in an effort to get rid of undesirables. The strategy was very successful and it is now an area of restaurants, Jewelry stores tourist shops, and cafes. Though it is quite commercialized it is still a neighborhood and arguably the nicest neighborhood in central Athens. Most of the restaurants are typical tourist places but the quality of food is not bad in some of them

Monastiraki

Standing in the middle of the square, you can see a blend of historical eras, architecture and cultures, and many roads leading to different directions.Monastiraki square is a meeting point not only because it is located in the heart of Athens but also because it offers you multiple ways to access it from various locations. Its Metro station (subway) is located just a stop away from Syntagma Metro station.Monastiraki is a unique neighborhood that has been inhabited for six thousand consecutive years! It is among the oldest, most historic and important neighborhoods in Western Culture. The name “Monastiraki” was established during the Greek Revolution against the Ottoman Occupation.

Psiri

While Plaka is for sightseeing and shopping, Psiri has taken up the mantle of best nightlife quarter in Athens, with streets full of revellers until daybreak on weekends.Psiri wasn’t always a place for outsiders, as from the foundation of the modern Greek state in 1828 to the 1990s the area had a fearsome reputation.In the 19th century it was the haunt of Koutsavakides, a law unto themselves, with long moustaches, coats down to their ankles (for hiding their guns) and high-heeled pointed boots.The last 20 years has rounded off Psiri’s edges, and there’s an endless choice of music tavernas, bars, restaurants, cafes and nightclubs for all tastes.

Parthenon

Seen as the greatest achievement of the Doric Order and Classical Greece’s most significant building to make it to the 21st Century, the Parthenon is a symbol of western civilisation and Athenian democracy.The Parthenon was dedicated to the goddess Athena and begun in 447 BC, when the Athenian Empire was the dominant force in the Aegean.Co-designed, by Ictinus and Callicrates, at that time it was a city treasury before becoming a church in the 6th century and then a mosque in the 1460s.Notoriously, some of the Parthenon’s sculptures were plundered by The Earl of Elgin at the start of the 18th century and were later sold to the British Museum where they remain.The remainder of the original frieze and pediment sculpture is the highlight of the Acropolis Museum
