Dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos, the Parthenon is one of the most important surviving Doric temples. It is also the grandest of the monuments created during the time of Pericles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parthenon, made of white marble from Mount Pentelicus, was designed to house the gold and ivory image of Athena Parthenos. Approximately 70 metres long and 30 metres wide, the Parthenon was surrounded by columns all around its perimeter, 8 on the main fa\u00e7ades and 17 on the sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ancient-Agora\"><\/span>Ancient Agora&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ancient Agora of Athens was the centre of the social, political and commercial life of the ancient Greek city. Acting as the heart of the city, the Ancient Agora was the venue for political meetings and debates, elections, religious celebrations, commercial activities, theatrical performances as well as athletic competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ancient Agora of Athens is one of the most representative places in the city thanks to its great historical richness, so it is a mandatory visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lycabettus-Hill\"><\/span>Lycabettus Hill&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lycabettus Hill is a small 278 metre-tall mountain where you can get the best views of Athens. Located in the Kolonaki district, it is one of the most special places to watch the sunset over the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the top of Lycabettus Hill there are exceptional views of the city, especially of the Acropolis. At the highest point is the small orthodox chapel of St. George, a charming white building that gives the hilltop a special appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>There are different ways to get to the top of the hill, either on foot, along a winding path sheltered by pine trees, by car, or using the funicular railway.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Panathenaic-Stadium\"><\/span>Panathenaic Stadium<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Built in white marble between 1869 and 1870, the Panathenaic Stadium is the site of the first Olympic Games of our era, in 1896.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today it is possible to stroll through the marble stands where centuries ago spectators nervously waved, walk onto the athletics track to step into the shoes of the former athletes, and even stand on the podium for a souvenir photo next to the rings that form the symbol of the Olympic Games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Admission for adults costs \u20ac3 and for students \u20ac1.50.<\/li><li>Opening hours are 8:00 to 19:00 every day from March to October, and 8:00 to 17:00 from November to February.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plaka\"><\/span>Plaka<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also known as the Quarter of the Gods due to its proximity to the Acropolis, Plaka is the oldest quarter of Athens and one of the most attractive and lively areas of the city. It is a neighbourhood that still retains its old charm and appearance thanks to the narrow, labyrinthine alleys lined with beautiful 19th century neoclassical fa\u00e7ades.
