Dionysiou Areopagitou Street is a pedestrianized street, adjacent to the south slope of the Acropolis in the Makrygianni district of Athens. It is named after Dionysius the Areopagite, the first Athenian convert to Christianity after Apostle Paul’s sermon, according to the Acts of the Apostles, and patron saint of the city of Athens. The street runs from east to west. It starts from Amalias Avenue near the Arch of Hadrian and ends near Philopappos Hill where it continues as Apostolou Pavlou Avenue, the rest of the pedestrian zone which goes around the archaeological site of the Acropolis and the Agora.
Acropolis Museum – Just a short walk from the Acropolis, this modern museum is built over an ancient Athenian neighborhood, which you can see through its glass floors. The museum houses thousands of artifacts found on the Acropolis, including statues and relics that once adorned the Parthenon and other temples. It’s a must-visit to learn more about Ancient Greece! Don’t miss the Parthenon Gallery on the top floor, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Acropolis.
Acropolis and Parthenon – This ancient citadel dates back to the Neolithic period, but the most significant structures were built in the 5th century BC, during the height of Athens’ power. The Acropolis is now a UNESCO World Heritage site and the most visited site of Ancient Greece. When visiting the archaeological site, you’ll see magnificent monuments like the famous Parthenon. This temple, dedicated to the Goddess Athena, is entirely made of marble and weighs about 20,000 tons! You will also pass by the Erechtheion and its porch of the Caryatids, the temple of Athena Nike, the theatre of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, which is still used for representations.
Odeon of Herodes Atticus – The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a reconstructed theatre located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis of Athens. Built in 161 AD, it is a colossal structure. It can accommodate over 6000 people and is still used for theatres and festivals today. The Odeon is simply known by the locals as ‘Herodeon’. The amphitheatre-style seating has been cut into the limestone hillsides near the Acropolis, making it one of the most beautiful structures in Greece.
Erechtheion – The Erechtheion is a temple on the north side of the Acropolis. Mostly known for its six Ionic columns which form an entrance to the east, it was built in 421 BC. It has two porches or colonnades, each composed of four massive pillars. The temple was dedicated to Athens and Poseidon.
Plaka District – The old town is a must-see on your Athens itinerary. Plaka has some lovely restaurants with little side streets that are worth exploring. The best time to go for an evening stroll would be on Pronoia Street which often hosts live music performances. One popular stop-off point is at a small restaurant called Smak which is a great budget food option selling delicious pizza and peinirli. It’s located off Ermou Street and you can eat here for less than €5 per person. This makes this a great place to stop for lunch. While in Plaka, don’t miss the Anafiotika area, its white-washed houses and colorful gardens, reminiscent of the Greek islands.

It’s a perfect example of Roman architecture in Athens and a spot for some great photos. Built in honour of the Roman emperor Hadrian, Hadrian’s Arch is a large arch of marble. The arch was made to celebrate his visit to Athens in 131 AD and makes for one of the best photo opportunities at any time day or night.

It houses more than 25,000 exhibits with rare collections of pictures, scriptures, frescoes, pottery, fabrics, manuscripts, and copies of artefacts from the 3rd century AD to the Late Middle Ages. It is one of the most important museums in the world for Byzantine Art. In June 2004, in time for its 90th anniversary and the 2004 Athens Olympics, the museum reopened to the public after an extensive renovation and the addition of another wing. The gallery is situated on Vassilissis Sofias Avenue 22, down the street from the Hilton Athens. It is housed in Villa Ilissia [2] designed by Stamatios Kleanthis. It can be reached by the Athens Metro at the Evangelismos station.

This museum, one of the most important in Greece, houses the richest collection of artifacts from Greek antiquity worldwide. It’s a must-visit for anyone interested in the cultural heritage of Greece. Highlights include the Mask of Agamemnon, the Antikythera Mechanism, and statues, from the Archaic to the Roman period. The museum is less crowded in the late afternoon, so by following my itinerary, you will be there at the perfect time! After your visit, don’t forget to check out the museum shop for books and replicas of ancient Greek artifacts—it’s perfect for unique gifts or souvenirs.

Ancient Agora – Once the commercial, political, and social hub of ancient Athens. Today, it’s an archaeological site that offers a glimpse into Athens’ ancient history. While exploring the Agora, you’ll see well-preserved ruins such as the Stoa of Attalos, which has been rebuilt to house the Agora Museum. Inside, you can view an impressive collection of artifacts. You’ll also see the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world and a famous example of Doric architecture. The entrance to the Ancient Agora is included in the Athens pass. Athen’s Ancient Agora is one of the oldest and most complete agoras from ancient Greece. It’s located to the northwest of the Acropolis and was used as an assembly place for the democratic government. As well as being the centre of decision-making in Athens, the Agora was also the best place to see the city come alive as people gathered all around to hear the outcomes of the discussions. Surrounded by greenery, it’s a beautiful temple and one of the best things to see in Athens.
The Temple of Hephaestus – The Temple of Hephaestus is an architectural goliath. Dedicated to Hephaestus, (the god of fire) and Athena, (the goddess of pottery and crafts), it’s one of the best-preserved temples in Athens today. According to archaeologists, the temple was built around 450 B.C. It’s located northwest of the Ancient Agora, on top of Agoreos Koronos hill. The building is an example of typical Dorian architecture.
Temple of Ares – The Temple of Ares is an important archaeological site located near the northern part of the Ancient Agora. If you travel from Syntagma Square on foot, it can be reached in around 20 minutes. Originally built around the 5th century BC, it has been rebuilt several times since. When you visit make sure to take note of the stone sculptures that once lined the roofline – Zeus, Hera, Athena, Aphrodite, and Hermes which have all been beautifully restored.
Roman Agora – One of Athens’ oldest markets, the Roman Agora was once one of its busiest areas, full of street vendors selling everything under the sun. Not to be confused with the Ancient Agora, it was built in the 1st century BC and was mainly used as a marketplace for trading goods. There was also a selection of shops and stalls fringed by decorative columns and a central fountain. The ruins are located north of the Acropolis and near the Monastiraki metro station.
Tower of the Winds – The Tower of the Winds is an octagonal Pentelic marble tower in the Roman Agora in Athens, named after the eight large reliefs of wind gods (in the form of young winged men and old men) around its top. Its date is uncertain, but was completed by about 50 BC, at the latest, as it was mentioned by Varro in his De re Rustica of about 37 BC. It is “one of the very small number of buildings from classical antiquity that still stands virtually intact”, as it has been continuously occupied for a series of different functions. Formerly topped by a wind vane, it is the only surviving horologium or clock tower from classical antiquity. It also housed a large water clock and incorporated sundials placed prominently on its exterior faces; “citizens were thus able by using this building to orient themselves in space and time. Architecture, sculpture and the new science were perfectly integrated”. It was considered a marvel of technology.
Gate of Athena – The Gate of Athena Archegetis is situated west side of the Roman Agora, in Athens and considered to be the second most prominent remain in the site after the Tower of the Winds. Constructed in 11 BCE by donations from Julius Caesar and Augustus, the gate was made of an architrave standing on four Doric columns and a base, all of Pentelic marble. A dedicatory inscription offers an insight into the time and circumstances of the monument’s construction: “The People of Athens from the donations offered by Gaius Julius Caesar the God and the Reverend Emperor son of God To Athena Archegetis, on behalf of the soldiers of Eukles from Marathon, who curated it on behalf of his father Herod and who was also an ambassador under the archon Nicias, son of Sarapion, from the demos of Athmonon) It was a monument dedicated by the Athenians to their patroness Athena Archegetis.”
Hadrian’s Library – Hadrian’s Library is the ruin of a monumental building created by Roman Emperor Hadrian in AD 132 on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens. The main entrance to the library was part of the Stoa of Hadrian with columns of Karystian marble and Pentelic capitals.[3] The library opened to the Roman agora (oil market), by a porch and pediment. The building followed a Roman forum architectural style, having only one entrance with a propylon of Corinthian order, a high surrounding wall with protruding niches at its long sides, an inner courtyard surrounded by columns and a decorative oblong pool in the middle. The library was on the eastern side where cupboards and shelves containing rolls of papyrus “books” were kept. Adjoining halls were used as reading rooms, and the corners served as lecture halls. The ceilings were gilded wood and the walls covered in marble and paintings.
Agios Eleftherios – The church is built on top of the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to the goddess Eileithyia. Various dates for its construction have been proposed in the past, from the 9th century under Empress Irene of Athens to the 13th century. Until recently, the common view among scholars, especially in Greece, ascribed it to the tenure of Michael Choniates as Metropolitan of Athens, at the turn of the 13th century.
Roman Baths – A rather unknown attraction, the Roman Bath in Athens is a little hard to find, but it’s worth the hunt and worth adding to your 4 day Athens itinerary. The bath is a Roman Era thermal bath complex and one of the best-preserved examples in Greece.
