Athens today It is difficult to include in half a page all the interesting parts and sightseeing of a modern city of 5 millions population and history that goes 3.000 years back, like Athens.  We will try to present you the most important to our opinion.
  • Acropolis:  Visiting Acropolis is a must for any Athens' visitor.  The "rock" is a monument for all humanity and the temples you can see there -like Parthenon- are unique by all means.  Next to Acropolis there is a museum, where are concentrated all the ancient relics which where found at the area.
  • Odeon of Herodes Atticus:  The theater was built next to Acropolis for the ancient writers (like Sophocles or Euripides)  to present their dramas or comedies.  Today the theater is still in use!!! allowing artists from all over the world (mostly classic music but also all kind of performances, like a Russian classic ballet or an ethnic theater group from Bali ) to perform their act.
