Start the day with a visit to the pearl of Greece, the ancient Acropolis. The Acropolis opens at 8 am. I advise you to be here no later than 9 o'clock, especially in summer, so it is not so hot. Entrance tickets are better to buy in advance, online, so you do not have to stand in line. You can leave the car in the hotel parking lot, and you can get to the Acropolis by subway (Acropolis station).

Every hour on Syntagma Square, in front of the Parliament building, there is a change of guard of the Presidential Guard, composed of colorful handsome eusones. And on Sundays from 10.45 to 11.15 there is an honorary change, with a march, an orchestra, and a full guard. I advise you to arrive early to get a better seat.
