Introduction of tourist attractions in Athens:

Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis is located in the southwest of the center of Athens, standing on a steep hill, with the height exceeding150m. It is a landmark of the whole city and a symbol of ancient Greece. The Acropolis consists of ancient buildings such as Parthenon, Alecto and Athena's goddess of victory. According to research, it was inhabited as early as 2800 BC, and the king of Athens built his palace here more than 1000 years later. It is a landmark building in Athens, equivalent to the status of the Great Wall in Beijing!

Constitution Square

Constitution Square is the center of Athens. There are many benches scattered in the square paved with marble floor. Many airlines, banks, travel agencies and coffee shops are concentrated here, where people often walk, rest and feed pigeons. The most famous attraction here is the Monument to the Unknown Soldier between the Parliament Building and Constitution Square. Every time on time, there will be a wonderful changing ceremony here. Guards dressed in classical costumes patrol the monument at a unique pace, attracting countless tourists to stop and watch.

National Museum of Archaeology

Athens National Archaeological Museum can rank among the top ten museums in the world, because its collection is absolutely heavyweight! The National Archaeological Museum is the largest and richest museum among more than 20 museums in Athens. It has collected nearly 20,000 cultural relics from different archaeological sites in Greece. The most famous collection is "Agamemnon's Golden Mask", which was originally thought to belong to King Agamemnon who performed heroically in the Trojan War over 0/000 BC. However, according to research, masks have actually existed for a long time.

Parthenon, Parthenon

The Parthenon is the most important main building of the Acropolis, which stands at the highest point of the Acropolis. The design of the Parthenon represents the highest level of Greek architectural art. Although it has experienced more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes, we can also see from the towering colonnade that this temple was once the most templo mayor dedicated to the goddess Athena. When visiting temples and churches, you should wear formal clothes, preferably trousers for men and long-sleeved skirts for women.

Acropolis Museum, Acropolis Museum

One of the most important trips to Athens is to visit the museum! The Acropolis Museum at the foot of Acropolis Mountain was opened in 2007. The internal structure of the whole building is exactly the same as that of the Parthenon. The ground floor is suspended on the archaeological site, and the monuments below can be clearly seen through the transparent glass. There are more than 4,000 collections in the museum, including the relief of Diana's goddess of victory and the female statue column that erected the temple.

Medolla Monastery

This world-famous air monastery with a history of thousands of years is the holy land of the Greek Orthodox Church and a United Nations World Heritage Site. On the unique green summit of Mount Athos, a monastery with a red roof seems to be built in the air, which is very strange. Several plots in the famous 007 series "Top Secret" unfold here. Now, this seemingly isolated place has prospered due to the arrival of tourists and has gradually grown into a small town in the mountains.

Dionysus Theatre

The Dionysus Theatre in Athens is located in the south of the Acropolis. Built in the 5th century BC, it has two semicircular theaters connected by porches, which fully embodies the ancient Greeks' love for art. The Odium of Herodes Attius Theater in the west is still a place for open-air concerts and theatrical performances in summer, and the Dionysus Theater in the east is open to tourists as a scenic spot.

Temple of hephaestus.

Hephaestus Temple is one of the best preserved ancient buildings in Greece, and it is dedicated to Vulcan and casting god hephaestus. There are 34 pillars in the temple, and 9 stories of "Twelve Great Achievements of Hercules" are carved around the roof. Its name may not be familiar to everyone, but his wife is very famous, that is, brokeback Venus. Probably because Vulcan is lame, the flame of Athens Paralympic Games was lit here.
