What makes All Inclusive Pass to Athens City and Acropolis a unique experience ?
The Acropolis is the most popular attraction in Athens. The site of the sanctuary has been inhabited since the Neolithic period but reached its greatness under the reconstruction program of Pericles in the mid-5th century BC. Many of its major temples, like the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, were then rebuilt in the form that we know today.
The Parthenon is the most famous one and the best preserved. The decorative marble and statues are considered to be some of the best examples of ancient Greek art. Over time, the facade as well as the function of the Acropolis changed tremendously, especially in the Byzantine and Ottoman periods.
The Athenian Agora was the center of political, commercial, and social activity in ancient Athens from the 6th century BC until its destruction by a Slavic invasion in 580 AD.
The Stoa of Attalos is a covered walkway made of Pentelic marble and limestone in the Ancient Agora of Athens. It was built by King Attalos II of Pergamon in the 2nd century BC, and it was meant to be a gift to the city of Athens, where he had received his education. The stoa stands out from the earlier buildings of the Agora due to its size and more elaborate decoration. Today, it serves as the museum of the Ancient Agora.
The central market and gathering place during the period of Roman rule is called the Roman Agora. It is a rectangular square surrounded by arcades. Today, its visitors can see the remains of the market and the octagonal Tower of the Winds, which previously functioned as a clock and weather center.
This famous library was built in 132 AD by the Roman emperor Hadrian and was named after him. It is located opposite the Roman Agora. Situated next to it is the former Tzisdarakis-Mosque, built in 1759.
The construction of the Olympieion, or Temple of Olympian Zeus, began in the 6th century BC, but it wasn’t completed until the 2nd century AD, under the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian. The temple is supported by 17-meter-high Corinthian-style columns and was one of the largest in ancient Greece. It is situated 500 meters east of the Acropolis.
Kerameikos is a neighborhood in Athens that became famous due to its archeological site. The site consists of the cemetery and the potters’ quarter. It is one of the last ancient burial sites in Athens, and its serene atmosphere makes it worth visiting.
The Lyceum is the place where the famous philosopher Aristotle founded his school in 355 BC and where he used to teach. Its remains were found in 1996 in a small park behind the Greek Parliament.
New Acropolis Museum: The museum opened on June 20th 2009. Every year it welcomes ca. 2 million visitors due to its unique exhibits coming exclusively from the Acropolis area. It is situated 300 metres opposite from the Acropolis archeological site.
Herakleidon Museum is a private art museum in Athens. It was founded in 2004 and for 10 years its primary focus was on the fine arts hosting parallel various cultural happenings. The last years it has evolved in an interactive centre for popularized science based on the philosophy ‘Science, Art & Mathematics’.
Hellenic Motor Museum is located in a unique building in terms of architecture and design. Its exhibitions are dedicated to the evolution of the car and display more than 110 cars from the 19th and the 20th century.
Visit the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology in the heart of Athens, just a few steps from the Greek Parliament. On a total area of 700 square meters, you have the opportunity to get to know a relatively unknown aspect of ancient Greek culture. The exhibition includes around 100 selected exhibits which tell you more about the origins of technologies, from the robot-servant and the “cinema” of Philon to the automatic theater of Heron, and from the Hydraulic Clock of Ktesibios to the Antikythera Mechanism.
