About Athènes

Athènes dresse l'Acropole au-dessus d'une capitale moderne étendue, où ruines antiques, ruelles en pente et longues soirées en taverne se côtoient.

Le Parthénon couronne l'Acropole, flanqué de l'Érechthéion et de sa tribune des Caryatides, et le musée de l'Acropole, au pied de la colline, présente les sculptures trouvées sur le rocher. Autour, l'Agora antique, le temple de Zeus olympien, l'arc d'Hadrien et le stade panathénaïque en marbre permettent de parcourir facilement la ville classique à pied.
