For us, that meant ancient ruins, lots of greek food, and a lookout point or two to catch the city looking her best right around sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s begin with the main attraction and a place that has dominated the city skyline for millennia: the Acropolis.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, the Acropolis is not one single building, but rather, an ancient citadel which holds a few different structures. <\/p>\n<p>The archaeological site is lined with ancient theatres, altars and temples, and once you reach the top, there are two places that will catch your eye. <\/p>\n<p>The first is the Parthenon, an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Athena.<\/p>\n<p>The other, is the Erechtheum, another temple that was dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. It\u2019s hard to miss its &#8220;Porch of the Maidens&#8221;, with its six draped female figures acting as support columns.<\/p>\n<p>it was just a short walk over to the Temple of Olympian Zeus.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of this temple began in the 6th century BC and it wouldn\u2019t be completed until the reign of Hadrian in the 2nd century AD.<\/p>\n<p>It took about 638 years to build this temple, but it would have been the largest temple in Greece and one of the most impressive constructions of the ancient world.<\/p>\n<p>While in Athens, we also climbed Mount Lycabettus. <\/p>\n<p>This is a rather steep hill that rises 300 meters above sea level, and it\u2019s a nice place to catch sunset over Athens. <\/p>\n<p>As a travel tip: there is a funicular to take you up and down the hill if you want to save your legs!<\/p>\n<p>In this video, we\u2019re going to share with you 15 things to do in Athens, Greece, so let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a wrap for our guide to Athens! <\/p>\n<p>We hope this video gave you a few ideas of what you can cover on a short visit. <\/p>\n<p>If you have any other suggestions of things to do in Athens that you\u2019d like to share with travellers, feel free to leave your travel tips in the comments below. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll see you in the next video as we continue our travels through Greece. <\/p>\n<p>This is part of our Travel in Greece video series showcasing Greek food, Greek culture and Greek cuisine.  <\/p>\n<p>Music by Peyruis: https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/peyruis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us as we visit Athens, Greece in this travel covering 15 of the top things to do in the city with a focus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39283,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[52995,53023,53005,53000,53007,53012,53015,52997,53001,53003,53004,53008,53022,52999,53014,53009,52998,52996,53010,53020,53018,53017,423,53013,53016,53019,53021,53002,63,53011,53006,53024,1583],"class_list":{"0":"post-39282","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hokkaido-region","8":"tag-athens","9":"tag-athens-at-night","10":"tag-athens-attractions","11":"tag-athens-city","12":"tag-athens-city-guide","13":"tag-athens-city-tour","14":"tag-athens-food","15":"tag-athens-greece","16":"tag-athens-greece-travel-guide","17":"tag-athens-guide","18":"tag-athens-itinerary","19":"tag-athens-must-see","20":"tag-athens-street-food","21":"tag-athens-things-to-do","22":"tag-athens-tour","23":"tag-athens-tourism","24":"tag-athens-travel","25":"tag-athens-travel-guide","26":"tag-athens-trip","27":"tag-athens-vacation","28":"tag-athens-vlog","29":"tag-athina","30":"tag-food","31":"tag-greece","32":"tag-greece-travel","33":"tag-greece-travel-guide","34":"tag-greek-food","35":"tag-things-to-do-in-athens","36":"tag-travel","37":"tag-visit-athens","38":"tag-53006","39":"tag-53024","40":"tag-1583"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/tour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
