1. The name of the hill is derived from an inscription that was dedicated to the nymphs, who were worshiped here in times of antiquity. Unlike the Gods of Mount Olympus, the Nymphs never lost their place in popular legend, and today they are still spoken about, in terms of fairies.

2. The Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, also known as the Olympieion, was built over several centuries starting in 174 BCE and only finally completed by Roman emperor Hadrian in 131 CE. Its unusually tall columns and ambitious layout made the temple one of the largest ever built in the ancient world

3. Hadrian's Arch, is a monument which, in spite of the marks of time and repetitive acts of vandalism, still preserves its elegant silhouette and an admirable patina through the gradual oxidation of its pentelic (from the quarries of Mt. Penteli) white marble.

4. A beautiful columned building styled in the neo-classical Greek fashion, the Hellenic Parliament is an imposing building located in Syntagma Square in the centre of Athens. Completed in 1843, the Parliament building was originally the Royal Palace of Greece and was designed by German architect Friedrich von Gärtner for King Otto.

5. Plaka is one of the oldest neighborhoods of Athens, located right below the Acropolis hill. It is extremely beautiful and picturesque, distinguished for its authentic character and traditional layout. The largest part of Plaka consists of neoclassical houses that date back to the 19th century, although archeological findings suggest that the region has been continuously inhabited since the prehistoric times.

6. Situated to the north-west of the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora of Athens was originally established as the administrative and trade centre of the city – hence its name, the ‘trade marketplace’. The Agora witnessed the Panathenaic Procession, the greatest celebration in the ancient city of Athens, memorialising the unification of Attica under King Theseus.

About Aten

Aten reser Akropolis över en vidsträckt modern huvudstad där antika ruiner, gränder i sluttningarna och långa kvällar på taverna ligger sida vid sida.

Parthenon kröner Akropolis, flankerat av Erechtheion med sin veranda av karyatider, och Akropolismuseet vid kullens fot visar skulpturer som hittats på klippan. Runt omkring gör Antika agoran, Olympieion, Hadrianus båge och marmorstadion Panathinaiko den klassiska staden lätt att gå genom.
