About Athen

Athen rejser Akropolis over en vidtstrakt moderne hovedstad, hvor antikke ruiner, stræder i skråningerne og lange taverna-aftener ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankeret af Erechtheion med sin veranda af karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved bakkens fod viser skulpturer fundet på klippen. Rundt omkring gør Den Antikke Agora, Olympieion, Hadrians Port og det marmorklædte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske by let at gå gennem.
