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.
