Parthenon
老老少皆宜(程世荣)Athens is a city with many cultural relics and historical sites, especially temples. We visited many temples in Greece and also visited famous temples on the islands when we took a boat tour of the Aegean Sea. Greece is still a very culturally rich tourist destination.

Plateia Omonoias
悠悠然上路Concorde Square is located in the center of Athens and is an important transportation hub. The famous Women's Street and Plaka Old Town are nearby. It is said that the security in this area of Concorde Square is a bit messy, but we feel OK. Of course, we have to be careful in all aspects of ourselves when we go out. We went to Athens in September 15, just in time for the early Greek election, and various activities and journalists interviewed in Concorde Square were very lively.
Academy of Athens
LLavender and SunOn March 20, 1887, Ziller handed over the building of the "Sinaean Academy" to the Greek Prime Minister. The Athens Museum of the Coin was opened in 1890, and the Byzantine and Christian Museum and National Archives were renovated in 1914. On March 24, 1926, the building was transferred to the newly established Athenian Academy of Sciences.
Temple of Olympian Zeus
WwwwellllThe scene must be watched with the background story, otherwise you will just be looking at a pile of stone pillars. The temple is built with limestone, and the roof is made of marble. It is supported by 34 Corinthian columns about 17 meters high, 13 long and 6 wide. There are exquisite marble carvings on the gables and the porch of the inner hall, and there are many Athenian-style statues on the eaves.

Monastiraki Flea Market
MMiss ThaiIt is a very busy area - but has so many nice shops and restaurants and street vendors.It is particularly nice in the evenings (though more crowded) in the summer with the sun down and less heat.On the weekends it seems there are even more street vendors.
Athens National Garden
SSammy0618Located in the heart of Athens, the National Park is a great place for people to relax in the afternoon. Now the Capitol is a private garden. The park was built in 1923 and is lush, quiet and comfortable. Sculptures, flower beds and small ancient relics are ornaments of the garden. The garden of the Zapion Palace, which surrounds the ancient social hall, is also here.
