Athens tourist attractions

 

 Many consider Athens to be the origin of Western civilisation, as it was once home to some of the world's most famous philosophers and thinkers.

Famous individuals like Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates were born in the city-state and debated and expanded on their ideas in venues like the Agora and Acropolis. Surprisingly, both of these sites are still standing some 2,500 years after they were established. Indeed, Athens is brimming with ancient archaeological wonders, with history and tradition on display all around you.       

                                     

Wandering through its cafe-strewn streets, which are lively yet laidback at the same time, is a great opportunity to soak up the atmosphere, with plenty of fantastic street art to be seen everywhere.
