Odeon of Herodes Atticus

Highlight • Historical Site

The Theatre of Dionysus is an ancient open-air theatre that holds immense historical and cultural significance. It's considered the birthplace of Greek drama and is closely associated with the worship of Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre.

Built in the 5th century BC, it could accommodate up to 17,000 spectators and was a venue for theatrical performances, including the works of renowned playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.

The theatre still holds performances today. The acoustics are fantastic and it's well worth seeing a show here if you get the chance.

Parthenon, the Acropolis of Athens

Highlight • Historical Site

The Acropolis in Athens is probably the most famous structure of ancient Greece. These unique buildings were built between 464 B.C. and 406 B.C. Built on a rock 156 meters high. The buildings include the Erechtheum, the Temple of Nike, the Propylaea and the Temple of the Parthenon, which is said to have housed a statue of the goddess Athena. In ancient times, an acropolis was usually a fortification located on the highest part of the city. The Acropolis of Athens also initially had a primarily defensive function.

Roman Agora, Athens

Highlight • Historical Site

The Roman Agora (also Roman Forum) was a square in ancient Athens. Agora (Greek ἀγορά) referred to the central market and meeting place of a city in ancient Greece. The term corresponds to the Latin forum. In Athens there were two Agorai, the actual Agora, which dates back to the 6th century BC, and the Roman Agora from the time of Roman rule.

Temple of Hephaestus

Highlight • Historical Site

The Agora was the beating heart of Athens in ancient Greece, the forum of all economic and social life. It was the place where Socrates philosophized, where democracy was invented in the latrines and where the world's first shopping center was built 2,000 years ago.

Hellenic Parliament Building

Highlight • Monument

King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned the building so that his son Otto I and his wife Amalie could move into accommodation in Athens that was appropriate for the royal couple. During a four-year construction phase, the building was built in the neoclassical style by the court architect Friedrich Gärtner from 1834 to 1838. The result was an imposing and at the same time simple-looking ochre-colored building, which stands out not least because of the porch on its main front supported by Doric columns.
The Greek parliament has been meeting in this impressive building since 1935.
