A fantastic open air movie theatre. This is one of our favourite places to watch films, it's just a few minutes' walk from our apartment. What's best, you can eat and have wonderful drinks while watching the film under the stars.

This is a gorgeous building and the oldest educational institution for the performing arts in modern Greece. Maria Callas started out as a student of the Athens Conservatoire.
You can enter and explore its simple modernist interiors yourselves - every window has a fantastic view! Young kids use it outdoor spaces to try out dancing etc and exhibitions are regularly hosted here. The building is being gently renovated.

Sightseeing
The first modern Olympics were held in 1896 in this gorgeous ancient stadium. We love even driving by! This is the finishing spot for Athens' annual (and original) Marathon race. The stadium also hosts concerts and ceremonies.

An imposing ancient temple just a short walk from the apartment, on your way to the Acropolis. Dedicated to Zeus, this colossal project took centuries to complete. During the Roman period the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.

The most iconic ancient Greek monument, the birthplace of democracy and the foundation of the west as we know it, this is an absolute must see.
The Acropolis itself is a fortified hill and a generic term, all ancient Greek cities had Acropolises. But the Athenian one is the most famous and important.It is topped off by the Parthenon, an ancient temple considered to have the perfect proportions. During ancient Athens' glory days some of the most famous masterpieces of antiquity were created for the hill's temples and public areas. The Acropolis Museum is a great way to round off your visit.
