Explore Athens & Kypseli
Beautiful city within your reach
The Acropolis, a rocky outcrop, dominates the heart of contemporary Athens as the largest and best sanctuary of ancient Athens. This holy area is associated with the most well-known myths of ancient Athens, its most important religious events, its earliest cults, and several pivotal historical moments. The Acropolis monuments blend in seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. These extraordinary works of ancient architecture, which mix several orders and styles of classical art in an extremely inventive way, have had a long-lasting impact on art and culture. The splendor, riches, and power of Athens at its height, the golden age of Perikles, are best reflected in the Acropolis of the fifth century BC.
The Plaka is Athens’s oldest neighborhood. The majority of the streets are now off-limits to car traffic, but you should still be on the lookout for motorcycles or delivery trucks that might be speeding. It used to be a place for nightclubs, but many of them closed after the government prohibited loud music in the area in the 1970s in an attempt to get rid of undesirables. The plan was highly effective since there are cafes, restaurants, and tourist shops there. Even though it is heavily marketed, it is still possibly the most beautiful neigborhood in the heart of Athens. The majority of the restaurants are typical tourist destinations, but some of them have excellent culinary quality.
Both visitors and locals like shopping in Athens, and the Flea Market at Monastiraki is one of the best spots to find nearly anything. It isn’t truly a flea market, unless perhaps on Sunday when some shops close and others set up tables and carpets to sell everything from rubbish to treasures. The rest of the week is more comparable to Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, but less extravagant and bizarre.
