8Athens – The Cradle of Civilization
No visit to Greece is complete without exploring Athens, the heart of ancient history. The Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominates the city skyline, with the Parthenon standing as a symbol of Western civilization.
Stroll through Plaka, a historic neighborhood filled with neoclassical buildings, traditional tavernas, and vibrant street art. Don’t miss the Acropolis Museum, which houses a remarkable collection of artifacts. For panoramic views of the city, hike up Mount Lycabettus at sunset.
