5 of the top things to see in Athens are:
1. The Parthenon- if you plan on visiting Athens, you must take a day and go visit this fantastic monument that was created by the Greeks in 438 BC is one of the earths greatest manmade treasures.
2. The Acropolis of Athens- This acropolis is simply a miracle of architecture in the era that it was built, the 5th century. So if you enjoy seeing amazing works of art, this is something you should see.
3. Mount Lycabettus- This mountain of limestone tops out at 300 meters above sea level, it also has a restaurant on top of it called Orizontes. You can read more about it in the place to stay and eat page.
4. Panathenaic stadium- This stadium was where the Greeks first performed the Olympic games, the sports were a little different than today's as you would expect, but another difference was that they performed the games nude.
5. The Acropolis Museum- This museum would definitely give you a lot more information on number 2 on my list, it provides insight on how they built it and it's just super interesting.
