Located at the foot of the Acropolis, the Acropolis Museum houses an extensive collection of ancient artefacts and art from the Acropolis and the surrounding area.

The ancient Agora was the centre of public life in ancient Athens, where public performances, meetings, sports and cultural events took place.

This bustling market is a popular tourist destination for souvenirs, vintage clothing, silverware and other unique household and design items.

Greece's largest and one of the most important museums of ancient Greek art in the world. It has an extensive collection of sculptures, ceramics, jewellery, and other artefacts from ancient Greece.

The top can be reached both by hiking and by cable car.
