The architectural buildings and archaeological monuments are just two of the top reasons to visit Athens. If you think the hills, sea, and buildings are all there is in this perfectly made city then think again, because they have great food in this city as well.
Where to go first in Athens? Well, it will be a very exciting trip to Athens and the first thing that comes into my mind is the remarkable hills named the Acropolis (also called sacred rock). They say it is the most significant mark of ancient Greek culture. Don’t miss the Pathenon Temple. Now this building will surely make you feel like a goddess. Inside the temple you will find a huge statue of Athena.
With its beauty you feel like you are acquainted with the Greek gods and goddesses.
About 300 meters from the sacred rock stands the magnificent New Acropolis Museum. This museum is made of steel, glass and concrete and inside you will see 4,000 priceless finds from the Acropolis monuments.
Another place you should not miss and definitely one of the top reasons to visit Athens is the Areios Pagos (the Rock of Ares). This place functioned as the Court of Appeal for criminal and civil cases in the city. Now let us go to Ancient Agora, what is a city without a place for commercial, political and religious center right? Ancient Agora used to be a residential area but there were several remodeling made in the place.
Wait, Athens, Greece has more than just spectacular Museums and hills because their houses were constructed very nice as well. The perfect weather of the city makes a tour even better which makes it one of the top reasons to visit Athens, Greece. You will not get tired walking along the Plaka neighborhood which is located at the eastern side of the Acropolis. You will be surprise that this place has been inhabited without any interruption for a very long time. You will enjoy walking through the narrow labyrinthine pathways or street ,lined with houses (can you just imagine how the kids in Plaka play hide and seek?).
After enjoying the tour at Plaka neighborhood I am sure you want to have a taste of Greece’s finest food. What to eat in Athens, Greece? They have a lot of food to offer like sea food, lamb, chicken and grilled meat. If you are into sea food then try their lobster (Astako) and their squid (kalamarica) which is best with lemon.
If you want to try out their lamb I suggest you order for some Psito (psee- toh ), this is a leg part of a lamb roasted with potatoes. The best part of dining in this city is that you get to see how they prepare the food, because they allow their customers to take a look in their kitchen. You will see how fresh their ingredients are which makes you feel more at home in Greece.
Greece’s history has so much influence around the world. That is why travelling around Athens, Greece will never be boring. A trip in this place is so magical and memorable. Their magnificent buildings serve as a symbol of their great talent and creativity. This city is the perfect place to visit and you will even want to stay here forever. A tour around Athens is something that will make you feel more alive and thankful.
Not into Greece? Why not head over to Asia and hit amazing Hong Kong or Seoul?
