The Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum of course!-Tourkovounia
-The War Museum
-Panathenaic Stadium
-Aristotle’s Lyceum
Any more to add to the list? These are just my opinion
I would say visiting the shops at Monastiraki in Athens is a must do as well! Seeing the Acropolis at night is something to see too!

I would take the trek outside of Athens, too, to see the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion.

I am planning another trip to Greece and plan to go to Athens. I have been so many times! I thought I would share with you what I love about it.
- The Acropolis: Standing majestically above the city, the Acropolis is an iconic symbol of ancient Greece. The Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Temple of Athena Nike are awe-inspiring examples of classical architecture.
- Plaka District: Wandering through the narrow streets of Plaka feels like stepping back in time. This charming neighborhood is filled with neoclassical buildings, quaint cafes, and souvenir shops.
- Sunset at Lycabettus Hill: Watching the sunset from Lycabettus Hill offers panoramic views of the city and the Aegean Sea. It's a magical experience, especially when accompanied by live music at the hilltop chapel.
- Monastiraki Flea Market: Bargain hunting at Monastiraki Flea Market is a must-do in Athens. You can find everything from antiques and handmade crafts to clothing and jewelry.
- Street Art in Exarchia: The Exarchia neighborhood is known for its vibrant street art scene. Exploring its graffiti-covered streets is like visiting an open-air art gallery filled with political statements and creative expressions.
