what to see and do in Athens

The Acropolis This is the original site of Athens, a limestone plateau supporting the Parthenon, the all-marble temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos (literally virgin Athens). A landmark visible from many parts of the modern city. In the same section are the Museum of the Acropolis (re-opened after renovation - a newer and bigger museum is on the cards), the Erechtheion with its six stone Karyatides maidens holding one side of the temple .The site includes the Parthenon, the museum, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion, the Temple of Nike (Wingless Victory) and the Aeropagus, the rocky hill that served as the first high court. Acropolis site - Open: daily 08.00-19.30 (until 31 October - in winter it closes earlier) Acropolis museum - Monday: 11.00-15.00, Tuesday to Sunday: 08.00-17.00 (holidays: until 15.00). Admission: 12/6 euros ** Special Admission Rates and "closed" dates for Sites/Museums **Acropolis special ticket package: 12/6 euros There is now a special ticket...

Monastiraki

From the electric train station of this name, heading west in the area that skirts the park around the Thission and Ancient Agora, at the end of the shopping street Ermou. There is the flea market where items ranging from off-brand winter jackets, to army knives, vie with old telephone cards (especially along Adrianou - which also has several rather romantic cafes and restaurants - on Sunday mornings). Many gift shops and most notably antique, junk and collectors corners of every sort. This is touristy, but it's mixed in with the sort of old shops, that are gems and one of a kind. By the way, walk just down from the station away from the flea market to Kirikou street and you'll find the busiest and most popular after-work Gyros places - if a Gyros is good anywhere, it is here!
