Itinerar

  1. Acropolis

    1 h 30 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    The Acropolis, which dominates the center of modern Athens, was the ancient city's most important and majestic sanctuary ,dedicated primarily to its patron goddess, Athena.

  2. Theatre of Dionysus

    Dionysus' Theater or Dionysus' Theater Elefthereos is the most important known open-air theater in ancient Athens and is regarded as the world's first theater. It was about 3 meters above the temple and was part of Elefthereos' sanctuary. Dionysos was the main venue for Attic drama because it hosted the Great Dionysia, Athens' largest theatrical festival.

  3. Herod Atticus Odeon

    The magnificent Odeon of Herodes Atticus was the final great structure constructed in antiquity in the Acropolis area. It was a typical Roman amphitheater from imperial times, with a capacity of at least 5,000 people. The monument was renovated in the 1950s and has since hosted cultural events, mostly in the context of the Athens Festival.

  4. Oprirea 4

    A particular main entrance going into the inside is a common feature to religious locations. It was customary in ancient Greek architecture for any significant religious site to have a primary gate. This major gateway, the Propylaia, has taken on a unique significance in Acropolis. It is neither only a gate going into the sacred area, nor is it only an architectural appendage to the main temple complex. The Propylaia play an exquisite and one-of-a-kind role. They represent the magnanimous nature of the Athenian Acropolis. This is why, rather of being a simple gate, the Propylaia is magnificently built as a complex and harmonious public monument.

  10. Panathenaic Stadium

    30 min Intrarea nu este inclusă

    One of the most important cultural monuments in Athens and in Greece in general is the Panathinaiko Stadium. It is otherwise known as Kallimarmaro and survives to this day in very good condition. As it is mentioned in its name, at this stage the goddess Athena was worshiped and for this reason competitions were organized in her honor every year. As a project it was completed before the 6th century BC, but in its final form with the precious marble it arrived after a long time.

  11. Changing of the Guard Ceremony

    10 min

    The Evzones execute the renowned "changing of guard" on Syntagma, in front of the Unknown Soldier monument ,every hour. Two Evzones come in front of the monument of the Unknown Soldier to take the place of their colleagues. The Evzones who until then stood motionless guarding the monument, start an impressive gait by stretching their limbs which is a great spectacle. The same steps are followed by the Evzones who are going to replace them. When the show, which lasts about 15 minutes ,is over, the Evzones stand still to guard the monument while their tired colleagues return to their barracks to rest.
