Things to do in Glyfada

Beautiful and magnificent. Wear comfortable shoes and take a hat. I wasn’t well prepared for the amount of walking.

Amazing museum full of treasures. I highly recommend. There is also the excavation at the bottom. Amazing.

This was taken on the Acropolis: Temple of Victory (Figure 3), Parthenon (Figure 5. Still under renovation), Erechtheion (Figures 4 and 5), Dionysus Theatre, Atticus Theatre. The guided tour I bought a day in advance was very good. We set off at 5pm, just as the sun was about to set. It was not hot at all, and there were not many tourists. The tour guide was a historian, and the content he introduced along the way was very detailed. Including the story behind the construction of the Acropolis Museum, the trees on the Acropolis Hill, the Acropolis has experienced several disasters and historical changes, Athens' efforts in the field of international recovery of cultural relics (to the British Museum), the story of Dionysus, the god of medicine, the goddess of war, the goddess of wisdom, and the three main gods Poseidon. Another surprise is that there are so many cats in the Acropolis! They are the only guests who can enter and exit the temple at will. The staff will regularly put cat food for the stray cats.

It was cheaper to purchase the tickets at the location, it also came with free audio tours. If you need Chinese I am sure this app offered it but if English or another European language was okay it was better to do it in the museum. Upside museum itself was wonderful and pre bought tickets shipped the line!

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.

Monastiraki Square in Athens is a lively, vibrant spot rich in history and culture. It sits at the heart of the Monastiraki district, known for its Sunday flea market where visitors can find everything from antiques and souvenirs to clothing and local crafts. The square features historic landmarks like the Panagia Pantanassa church and the Ottoman-era Tzisdarakis Mosque, now a museum.The atmosphere is bustling with street vendors, cafes, and shops, making it a great place to experience Athenian life. From nearby rooftop bars, beautiful views of the Acropolis can be enjoyed. Its central location offers easy access to major ancient sites like the Ancient Agora and Hadrian’s Library. Monastiraki is appreciated for its blend of ancient history and lively modern culture, making it a must-see for visitors

This is a must-see event of the change of guards every morning at 8 am. This is really a spectacular galore of the past & that is most exciting to foreign visitors. It's normally packed with bus loads of tourists and foreigners alike, so be ready for crowds, all trying to capture the best photo and video angle of the 'guards' change. The guards in full ancient military costumes are really mesmerising!

The location of the Roman market is very unique and is well worth a visit. There are still some traditional arts and crafts shops to visit. It is necessary to experience the Roman culture here. It is best if the market has free visiting hours.

The Panathenaic Stadium is a stadium with a long history and culture. It was the venue for the first International Olympic Games. The Panathenaic Stadium was once used to host the Panathenaic Games, and was later rebuilt in 1896 to host the Olympic Games. The Panathenaic Stadium was built with marble and has a very large area. The stands can accommodate 60,000 people at the same time. It can be said to be a very luxurious stadium at the time. You can experience running on the track of the first Olympic Games🏃‍♀️
