Athens, Greece
Things to do in Athens
Everything in the Atlas for Athens: places to see and things to do, in one list.
The Acropolis
The Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Propylaea on one rock, best at opening or in the last hour.
Acropolis Museum
The Parthenon frieze laid out at actual scale and orientation, with casts where the originals are in London.
National Archaeological Museum
The Mask of Agamemnon, the Antikythera mechanism, and the best classical collection anywhere.
Anafiotika
A Cycladic village built inside Athens by island masons in the 1840s, and still lived in.
The Acropolis Museum, third floor
The Parthenon frieze laid out at actual scale and orientation, with plaster casts where the British Museum holds the originals — the gaps are the argument.
This page exists because Athens has at least 3 of them in the Atlas. Destinations with fewer do not have a page for this, on purpose — a facet with one or two entries is a heading with a list under it that you could have read in full on the page you came from. Back to Athens.
