THE PARTHENON

In the Western world, the Acropolis is the most important ancient site. It stands guard over Athens, crowned by the Parthenon and visible from practically everywhere in the city.

THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM

More than 3.000 notable artefacts from the Athenian Acropolis are housed in this archaeological site-specific museum.

TEMPLE OF APHAEA, AEGINA

Dedicated to goddess Athena and located on the island of Aegina, on top of a hill, it is one of the architectural wonders of Ancient Greece.

THE ANCIENT THEATRE OF EPIDAURUS

In terms of ideal acoustics and fine structure, it is Greece’s best preserved antique theatre. Constructed in the late 4th century BC, it can even pick up the sound of a pin dropping.
