The Archaeological Park-One of the great pleasures in Athens is strolling through what's been dubbed the "Archaeological Park." It takes visitors past the most important of the city's ancient monuments. The August Full Moon-For the past few years, 55 ancient sites throughout Greece -- including, of course, the Acropolis -- were open to the public on the night of the August full moon. Acropolis-Dominating Athens, the Acropolis is one of the archetypal images of Western civilization. Herodes Atticus theatre-The ancient Roman Herodes Atticus theatre is a major venue for classical music concerts during the Hellenic summer festival. Poseidon temple, Cape Sounion-The dramatically sited Poseidon temple is a familiar landmark to boats at sea. National Archeological Museum-This is the finest collection of Greek antiquities anywhere in the world. Tower of the Winds –this graceful octagonal structure is the best-preserved and easily the most intriguing of the Roman Forum ruins. Pláka-A mix of Byzantine, Neoclassical and Greek island architecture, this is one of the city's most rewarding districts for daytime wandering. The bazaar-Athens' raucous and colourful street market, extending from Monástiraki district up Eoloú to the nineteenth-century covered food hall.
