The Academy of Athens is Greece's national academy, and the highest research establishment in the country.

The Acropolis of Athens, meaning “high point city” in ancient Greek is an iconic symbol which stands 156 meters above the sea leve, home to numerous temples and other important buildings. It has a privileged location and is visible from most parts of the city. The Acropolis in Athens was a fortress and military base during the Neolithic period, due to its position which offers a great view of the land and the sea. During the Mycenaean times, it became a religious center, dedicated to the worship of the goddess Athena. It is said that the place was declared a province only to the gods by an oracle, and therefore stopped being inhabited by the people. The three temples of major importance, the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Nike, were erected during the classical period (450-330 B.C.) on the remains of earlier temples. The Persians destroyed some parts of the Acropolis during the battle of Salamis in 480 B.C. The founder of the Athenian democracy, Pericles, was the one who rebuilt it under the form it has kept until today. He made it into a city of Temples, and, as everything else created at that period, turned it to the ultimate achievement in terms of classical Greek architecture and sculpting.

Anafiotika is a scenic tiny neighborhood of Athens, part of the old historical neighborhood called Plaka. It lies in northerneast side of the Acropolis hill. The first houses were built in the era of Otto of Greece, when workers from the island of Anafi came to Athens in order to work as construction workers in the refurbishment of King Othon's Palace.

The Ancient Agora of Athens was the social, political and commercial hub of the city during Ancient Greece. This "meeting place" is the best kept example of an Agora. Agoras in Ancient Greece were public squares where the inhabitants would meet to discuss politics and their quotidian lives. It is also where elections, religious celebrations, athletic competitions and various types of shows were held. The first excavations in the Agora area took place between 1859 and 1912. During the following years, important remains, including large sculptures, were found in a deep trench when the railway tracks were being installed. Although most of the buildings in the Agora are not very well preserved, some of the most prominent edifices have been reconstructed extremely well like the Stoa of Attalos, an ancient department store, currently housing the Ancient Agora Museum. The Agora is also home to the Temple of Hephaestus, one of the best-preserved temples of Ancient Greece. It was built between 449 and 415 BCE. The Ancient Agora is one of the capital’s most special landmarks. Although most of the area’s constructions are badly damaged, the historic importance of this archaeological site makes it a must-see visit for all visitors.

Kerameikos is an area of Athens, Greece, located to the northwest of the Acropolis, which includes an extensive area both within and outside the ancient city walls, on both sides of the Dipylon Gate and by the banks of the Eridanos River.

The Lyceum was a temple dedicated to Apollo Lyceus. It was best known for the Peripatetic school of philosophy founded there by Aristotle in 334 BC. Aristotle fled Athens in 323 BC, and the university continued to function after his lifetime under a series of leaders until the Roman general Sulla destroyed it during his assault on Athens in 86 BC. The remains of the Lyceum were discovered in modern Athens in 1996 in a park behind the Hellenic Parliament.

Panagia Kapnikarea is an 11th-century church dedicated to Panagia and is situated in the middle of the busy Ermou shopping strip, on the way from Syntagma to Monastiraki square. The church is dedicated to Panagia and has a unique name “Kapnikarea” which may refer to the Byzantine tax “kapnikon” or some say it derives from the word “kapnismeni” which in Greek means “smoked”, due to the marks of fire that are seen on the building. The church is filled with a rich history and during the Greek Independence War, it was damaged, like most other monuments in Athens. In 1834, the year of the construction of Ermou Street, authorities had planned to demolish the church. This was during the reign of King Otto, as it was not included in the urban designs of his architect, Leo von Klenze but it was saved after the intervention of the King of Bavaria, Ludwig. Today, the church belongs to the University of Athens and continues to stand out as a unique part of the city’s history, attracting thousands of locals and tourists who walk inside each day to light a candle, say a prayer and look around this sacred site.
