About Atene

Atene pone l'Acropoli sopra una capitale moderna ed estesa, dove rovine antiche, vicoli in pendio e lunghe serate in taverna convivono.

Il Partenone corona l'Acropoli, affiancato dall'Eretteo con il suo portico delle cariatidi, e il Museo dell'Acropoli ai piedi della collina espone le sculture trovate sulla rocca. Intorno, l'Agorà antica, il Tempio di Zeus Olimpio, l'Arco di Adriano e lo stadio Panatenaico di marmo rendono facile percorrere a piedi la città classica.
