In evidenza

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.

  2. Visit the Church of Agia Efimia, built by refugee families as a place of memory and belonging. Pause here to take in a landmark that still carries the story of the community that founded it.

  3. Pass this modern supermarket as you continue along the route through the neighbourhood. It marks a quiet stretch of the walk between the stream views and the streets ahead.

  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 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.

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