    Tower of the Winds - Horologion of Andronicos (Αέρηδες - Ωρολόγιο του Κυρρήστου)

    We're going to explore the city today. We'll start with the Wind Tower. This ancient building was built around 51 years BC! Given that it has been worth more than two millennia, it has been perfectly preserved.
    This tower is considered the ancestor of all watch towers on Earth! The images of eight winds were carved on its eight edges. In XIX century it was used as a bell tower. And look at the views from this tower, as if you were right in ancient Greece.

    Yiasemi (Γιασεμί)

    After this experience, breakfast would be nice. The cafe is right next to the tower, in a historical place, so it's never empty. It was delicious and atmospheric. If you're not hungry, you can at least come in for a cup of coffee.

    Acropolis of Athens (Ακρόπολη Αθηνών)

    Athens Acropolis, the seat of the king and ancient Greek temples, is a 15-minute walk away. A rocky hill with a flat area at the top. The Parthenon is a bulwark of democracy.
    The pages of textbooks come to life. Walk, admire, take pictures.

    Acropolis Museum (Μουσείο Ακρόπολης)

    Another 15 minutes' walk will take you to the new Acropolis Museum, where you will be able to return the antiquities that were exported earlier. Although it has been opened relatively recently, the collection is rich and constantly growing.

    Strofi (Στροφή)

    After examining the antiquities, there was a serious appetite. We'll have lunch right away, near the museums. Very tasty, exquisitely decorated dishes! Well, how did you want it? Some of the Hollywood stars have lunch here, too. We have to hold the brand!

    Temple of Olympian Zeus (Ναός Ολυμπίου Διός)

    Now let's see the temple of Zeus. The ancient Greeks worshipped him here long before the temple was built. Despite the antiquity, many columns survived, although it was then used for defensive purposes and took the material for construction.

    National Garden (Εθνικός Κήπος)

    After the historical monuments - to nature! Let's go to the National Garden! This is a real oasis in the center of an ancient city! Let's take a walk, get some fresh air! It's quite large, and there are over 500 different plants growing in it.
    Here people walk and jog, you can have a picnic with your family or friends, and just read a book under the crown - you can do whatever you want. And we just went for a walk and explored the local flora.

    Lycabettus Hill (Λόφος Λυκαβηττού)

    After a walk in the garden, we decided to climb a high hill in the middle of the city. It offers a wonderful view of Athens. Licavit, the wolf's hill.
    Legend has it that wolves used to love hiding here. Well, maybe they did. What for? To get a better view of the surrounding area? After all, the views from the hill are delightful.
