About Athen

Athen stellt die Akropolis über eine weitläufige moderne Hauptstadt, in der antike Ruinen, Hanggassen und lange Taverna-Abende nebeneinander bestehen.

Der Parthenon krönt die Akropolis, flankiert vom Erechtheion mit seiner Korenhalle, und das Akropolis-Museum am Fuß des Hügels zeigt die auf dem Felsen gefundenen Skulpturen. Rundherum machen die antike Agora, der Tempel des Olympischen Zeus, der Hadriansbogen und das marmorne Panathenäische Stadion die klassische Stadt leicht zu Fuß erkundbar.
