Acropolis since words can not express the feeling and the
magic you get when you visit it. It was built the 5th century

celebrate the rise of the city state of Athens to the zenith
of its power. Famous sculptors and architects, like Phidias,

The most picturesque area of Athens. Narrow small roads, numerous
taverns, restaurants, coffee shops, small picturesque squaresand
beautiful interesting corners. All the houses are charecterised
as 'diatiritea' so with the renovation they keep their original
appearance.

place. Don't hesitate to bargain. Some columns from the Hadrian's
library, a mosque which has been turned into a library and a beautiful
small church are some of the monuments of this area.
