Destacados

Long before Athens expanded, the Attic landscape was crossed by countless streams and waterways. One of the last surviving traces of that landscape is the Podoniftis stream, which once flowed through a landscape of orchards, gardens, and cypress trees north of the city. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll discover hidden layers of that older Athens. You'll also hear how refugee communities, a legendary cave taverna, and a deadly 1994 flood all shaped the stream's story. The tour starts at the church of Agia Varvara outside Ano Patisia Metro Station. Walking along Perissou Street, you'll get your first close look at Podoniftis, its banks dense with eucalyptus, fig trees, and reeds, with water birds and even herons hunting in the shallows. The tour ends at a small park near Papanastasiou Street, from where Perissos Metro Station is a short walk away.

  4. Stroll along Ionias Street, named after one of the Greek communities forced from their homes in Asia Minor in 1922. Alongside nearby streets like Smyrnis and Kordeliou, it keeps that history alive in the neighbourhood's everyday geography.

About Atenas

Atenas sitúa la Acrópolis sobre una capital moderna y extensa, donde ruinas antiguas, callejuelas en cuesta y largas veladas de taberna conviven.

El Partenón corona la Acrópolis, flanqueado por el Erecteión y su pórtico de las cariátides, y el Museo de la Acrópolis, al pie de la colina, exhibe las esculturas halladas en la roca. Alrededor, el Ágora antigua, el templo de Zeus Olímpico, el Arco de Adriano y el estadio Panatenaico de mármol permiten recorrer a pie la ciudad clásica con facilidad.

Top-ranked sights in Atenas: Acropolis, Parthenon, Acropolis Museum.
