This museum opened its doors to the public in 2009 and is a very powerful exhibition centre. Indeed, a visit here is one of the best things to do in Athens, as it is one of the greatest museums in the world.
One of the major Athens sightseeing attractions is the Acropolis. The iconic buildings built more than 2500 years ago also has the Parthenon temple, which is said to be perfectly proportionate and one of the best Doric masterpieces in the world.
For a sweeping view of the city, one of the things to do in Athens is to visit Lycabettus Hill. You can either walk up the paths or take a bus or the funicular. On top of the hill, there’s a pretty 19th century chapel and a gourmet Greek restaurant while there are concerts in the open-air theatre here.
Here’s a beautiful public park, right next to the Greek Parliament. It’s quiet, serene and has a small zoo inside. It is certainly one of the loveliest things to do in Athens.
Among the top things to do in Athens is visiting the Plaka neighbourhood. Only pedestrians are allowed on its winding lanes while you gaze at the quaint mix of old and new buildings and enjoy among the surfeit of restaurants and cafés here.
