Everything you need for Athens in one place
The Acropolis is the most important ancient site in Greece and a symbol of Western civilization. The complex includes the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and other temples that have dominated the panorama of Athens for more than 2,000 years. Together with the surrounding archaeological sites, it represents one of the most significant locations of the ancient world.
A modern museum opened in 2009, located at the foot of the Acropolis, housing original sculptures and artifacts from the Acropolis including the Caryatids from the Erechtheion. The glass floor on the ground level reveals ancient ruins beneath the museum's foundations.
Once the heart of ancient democracy and public life, where philosophers such as Socrates debated politics and ethics. The site includes the reconstructed Stoa of Attalos and the well-preserved Temple of Hephaestus dating from the 5th century BC.
