One of the most fascinating landmarks of Athens is, of course, the Acropolis.
The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky complex consisting of several buildings of great historical significance. The most complete building still standing today is the famous Parthenon.
This structure sits high in the middle of Athens, dominating the city and illuminating the night.
Be sure to make a visit to the Acropolis your top priority in Athens. Check out this Skip the Line Acropolis tour with a licensed archaeologist.
2. Tour the Ancient Agora of Athens
There are two Agoras of Athens – the Ancient and the Roman.
Once a thriving marketplace for Athenians, the Ancient Agora is a predominant piece of Athens history.
This complex includes the monumental Temple of Hephaestus, Stoa of Attalos, and a small museum.
Did you know the only stadium in the world built completely of marble resides in Athens? Only representing the most majestic theatrical experience for Athenians, this stadium is one of a kind.
4. Watch the Sunset on Lycabettus Hill
Lycabettus hill offers one of the best views in the city.
To get to the top of Lycabettus, you can either climb the 200 steps to the top or take the cable car.
5. Take a Day trip to the Temple of Poseidon
Visit the temple dedicated to the “Master of the Sea”. Located on Cape Sounion, it’s just an hour from the center of Athens. This sunset tour includes full roundtrip transportation from the city.
6. See the Roman Agora
Constructed in the 1st century BC, the Roman Agora is another fascinating historical compound to see in Athens. Admire the gate of Athena from afar or pay 2 euros to take a stroll through the agora.
7. Acropolis Museum
After seeing the Acropolis, learn more about the history of the impressive structure at the Acropolis Museum.
Entrance to the museum is 5-10 euros. Additionally, it’s included in many Athens packages and tours like this guided tour here.
8. Anafiotika
Anafiotika is the charming neighborhood in Plaka that shows off its island-like architecture. With its white-washed buildings, clay pots, and bright colors, it’s one of the most colorful neighborhoods in Athens.
This neighborhood also offers one of the best viewpoints of the city.
9. Walk around Psiri & Monastiraki
Psiri & Monastiraki district is one of the trendiest areas of Athens. Streets are lined with cute cafes, fun nightlife spots, and stunning rooftop bars.
10. Eat chocolate cake at Nancy’s Sweet Home
Since you’ll be in Monastiraki, head to Nancy’s Sweet Home and get in line for one of their famous chocolate cakes.
11. Take a Free Walking Tour
Free walking tours are the best way to get to a new city without spending a fortune. Plus, it’s a great way to meet fellow travelers!
Rated one of the top 50 best bars in the world, The Clumsies is somewhere you must stop to have a drink.
I ordered a seasonal summer drink that came with a strip of sunscreen! Clumsies isn’t just any ordinary bar, it’s an experience.
13. Walk around Plaka
Plaka feels like a secret village in the center of Athens. Being the oldest neighborhood in the capital, a walk through the creaky whimsical streets beneath the Acropolis is a magical to experience.
14. Zappeion
The Zappeion is of the city center’s most well-known landmarks. Once used as the main fencing hall for the 1896 Olympics, the building is now repurposed for important meetings and ceremonies.
15. Stroll Through the Little Kook
Step into a fairy tale on one of the most unique streets in Athens! Little Kook is a completely themed street that changes themes every month. Not only is the street just decorated, but all the shops, cafes, and restaurants are too.
Some of my favorite themes have been Halloween, Christmas, Peter Pan, and Alice in Wonderland.
16. Visit the Archaeological Museum
Showcasing extensive artifacts from Roman, Egyptian, and Greek history, the Archaeological Museum is yet another museum in Athens that is considered one of the best in the world.
17. See Syntagma Square
Syntagma square is often considered the heart of Athens. It’s one of the most popular spots in the city for shopping, protests, and other public meetings.
18. Walk Through the National Gardens
After you’ve seen Syntagma, head over to the beautiful National Gardens. The entrance is free, and it’s a stunning oasis in the center of Athens.
19. Take Advantage of Athen’s Nightlife
What most people don’t know is Athens has a seriously amazing night scene.
S.I.X dogs is one of the most popular bars/clubs in the city. The venue transforms from bar to club depending on the day so be sure to check their schedule.
Other great bars are Juan Rodriguez, Barrett, and Handlebar.
20. Go to a Rooftop Bar
Athens is full of rooftop bars with a jaw-dropping view of the Acropolis.
Some of the best rooftop bars are A for Athens, 360 Cocktail Bar, and Couleur Locale.
21. Eat Traditional Greek Food
While Greece is full of beauty and history, I must say the best part of this country is the cuisine. Traditional Greek dishes are some of the tastiest in the world.
Don’t forget to try souvlaki, saganaki, a Greek salad, and wash it all down with Ouzo.
A few of my favorite restaurants are Bandiera, Oineas, and Avli.
Have a great trip to Athens and be sure to save this post for your future trip to Greece!

This post is all about what to do in Paros + the Complete Paros Greece travel guide.
This post may contain affiliate links, which means I’ll receive a commission if you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you. Please read full disclosure here.
Paros is a must-do on your Greek island-hopping itinerary.
Much like one of my other favorite islands, Ios, it offers the beauty, cuisine, and culture that many famous islands do but without breaking the bank and fighting crowds.
This is a true greek-island getaway that will not disappoint. If you don’t believe me, just check out these stunning photos of Paros.
Where to Stay
Parikia or Naoussa are where you’ll want to stay.
Parikia is cheaper and more authentic. Best for longer stays, backpackers, and budget travelers.
Naoussa is considered the main touristy part of the island. Best for short stays, main tourist points, and luxury hotels.
Regardless of where you stay, the bus system is great so it’s very easy to get around the island. Alternatively, you can rent a car.
I personally stayed at Paros Backpackers in Parikia and loved it.
Looking for what to do in Paros? Here are 14 things to do in Paros.
1. Paros Park
An adventurer’s haven. With 800 acres of protected seaside, you’ll find hidden coves, hiking paths, secret beaches, and a lighthouse.
I hiked to the lighthouse to watch the sunset and it was the highlight of my trip!
2. Santa Maria Beach
A beach lovers’ paradise! Santa Maria beach is one of the most commercialized and popular beaches in Paros. It offers sunbeds, beach bars, sandy beaches, and turquoise waters.
3. Naoussa
Naoussa is the most popular village in Paros. With its stone alleys and vibrant flowers, it’s easy to see why Naoussa is one of the biggest tourist hot spots on the island
In the center of Naoussa, you will find many hotels, bars, shops, and restaurants.
4. Panagia Ekatontapiliani Church
Located in Parikia, this beautiful monastery is one of the best paleo Christian structures in all of Greece. Legend has it, the church was constructed by Saint Constantine.
5. Kolymbithres Beach
Kolymbithres offers a unique beach experience. This beach is known for its large boulders and unusual rock formations.
6. Naoussa Old Port
Stroll alongside the old port of Naoussa where you can see the fisherman, boats, and seaside restaurants.
7. Parikia
Parikia town is my favorite village on the island. It offers cheaper prices, more authentic Greek culture, and nightlife.
8. Party at the Dubliner
By far the best club on the island! This is where the backpackers and locals go to have a crazy night out.
9. Antiparos
Right next door is an island called Antiparos.
Antiparos is a tiny little island that has shops, beaches, and restaurants.
There are boats that depart from Parikia and will take you to the island in under 20 minutes. Antiparos makes a perfect day trip.
10. Lefkes
Once the capital of the island in the middle ages, Lefkes is a small village that is worth a visit. Grab an ice cream from the town center and walk around the picturesque village.
11. Dinner at Little Green Rocket
Little Green Rocket is my favorite restaurant in Paros. Located in Parikia, this waterfront restaurant offers fresh dishes that blend Mediterranean and Asian flavors.
12. Antiparos Caves
If you are looking to spend a full day in Antiparos, visit the Cave of Antiparos. This cave is filled with interesting stalagmite formations.
13. Go to a Beach Club
Beach clubs are popular! I went to Punda beach club and enjoyed cocktails, sunbeds, pools, and the sea.
14. Watch a Sunset
Obviously, you can’t visit a Greek island without capturing a stunning sunset! Some of the best spots to see the sunset are rooftops, beaches, or the Paros Park Lighthouse.
Have an awesome getaway and be sure to save this post for your trip.

Planning a trip to Greece?
Greece is one of those places that I can’t ever seem to stay away from. I’ve spent months hopping around the Greek islands and exploring the ancient sites of Athens.

Visiting the Ancient Agora of Athens? Here’s everything you need to know.
Aside from the Acropolis, I would consider the Ancient Agora of Athens to be one of the coolest historical sights to see in Athens.
Did you know there are two main Agoras in Athens?
There is the Ancient Agora and the Roman Agora. In this post, we will be covering the Ancient Agora of Athens, which is arguably the most popular of the two.
What is an Agora?
An agora is simply a designated public spot for Greeks to meet; specifically for political, religious, artistic, and communal gatherings. The word Agora translates to “gathering place”.
The Ancient Agora of Athens
The Ancient Agora of Athens was founded in the 6th century BCE. It initially was used for military duty or to communicate statements from rulers. Over time, it evolved and served as a marketplace where Athenians would sell their goods and meet for cultural and religious events.
Spiritually, the Agora was considered a sacred place. Even the layout was designed to worship the holy road that ran through the middle, Panathenaic Way. This special road led to the traditional festival to worship the goddess, Athena.
Where to Find the Agora
You can see the remains of the Agora all throughout the grassy areas between the Acropolis and Monastiraki.
The Agora is not a building or a designated confined area, but rather a mass amount of land taking up a large area. You can even spot the metro tracks running along the outskirts of the complex.
The exact location of the entrance to the Agora and museum is: Adrianou 24, Athina 105 55
Ticket Prices
During high season, tickets are 20 euros.
Low season, tickets are 10 euros.
For European citizens under the age of 25, entrance is free.
The Athens pass or Combo ticket is 30 euros and includes entrance to many of the famous historical sights of Athens over the course of 5 days. This is a great value for tourists, especially if it’s your first time in Athens.
Where to get Tickets
Tickets can be purchased on location, this includes both a single entrance to the Agora and the Athens combo pass.
You can also get tickets on their official website here (however their website is glitchy sometimes!)
You can also purchase different combo packages on Viator or GetYourGuide.
Temple of Hephaestus
Located on the northwest side of the Agora on top of Agoraios Kolonos hill sits the Temple of Hephaestus.
This temple is well preserved due to its various uses and conversion into a Christian church. The Temple of Hephaestus has not been re-constructed and is considered the best ancient preserved temple in Greece.
Who was Hephaestus?
Hephaestus was the Greek God of Fire and Metalworking.
Worshipped by craftsmen, and frowned upon by others for being ugly and walking with a limp. Hephaestus was the son of Zeus and Hera, though Hera rejected him and cast him off Mount Olympus due to his disabilities.
Later, he gained revenge by returning and making her a magical throne, which did not allow her to get up once she sat down. How ironic!
It only seems fitting that one of the best-preserved ancient temples in Greece was dedicated to a craftsman.
Stoa of Attalos
Traditionally, a stoa is a covered walkway where stoics would gather and discuss philosophy.
It’s hard to ignore this massive structure as you walk through Monastiraki. Initially constructed in 159 BC, it served as a shopping center for Athenians.
Unfortunately, the building you see now is a reconstructed model to honor the original structure. The stoa was destroyed in 267 AD and reconstructed in 1956 with the financial support of American John D. Rockefeller Jr.
Inside the stoa is also the Agora Museum, where you can view ancient tools, furniture, and statues.
The Best Photo Spots at the Ancient Athens Agora
It’s hard to not want to take a selfie or two at some of the most iconic archaeological sights in the world. These are truly fascinating moments you’ll want to remember forever!
Front of the Stoa of Attalos
The massive columns lining the front of the stoa make for a memorable photo of your Agora experience.
The Backside of the Temple of Hephaestus
After climbing the stairs to Agoraios Kolonos hill, head to the back of the temple for a wider view. You can’t get a photo like this in the front, because the entrance is too close to the cliff facing the Acropolis.
Generally, there aren’t as many people lingering around in the back.
Front of Temple of Hephaestus
Okay, I know I just told you to skip the front of the temple for photos. While you won’t get the best photo of the temple on the front side, you will get a beautiful view of the Acropolis.
Best Time to Visit the Ancient Agora of Athens
Famous archeological sights like the Acropolis and the Agora can get really crowded.
The best time to visit would be during the off-season months, October – March.
If you are traveling during the summer (peak season) try to visit first thing in the morning on a weekday.
How Long to Plan
Don’t underestimate the agora! Be sure to save two hours of your day to explore this fascinating complex.
Ancient Agora of Athens Hours
8am-5pm. The last entrance is at 4:30 pm.
Days for Free Entrance to Archaeological Sights
On special days of the year, some of the historical sights in Athens are free to visit:
March 6 – Melina Mercouri Day
April 18 – International Day of Monuments
May 18 – International Day of Museums
Last weekend in September – European Heritage Days
October 28 – Oxi Day
First Sunday of each month between November 1- March 31
Now you’ll be fully prepared to visit one of the most significant archeological sights in Athens, Greece!

Ios Greece is a stunning island located in the Cyclades between Santorini and Naxos.
After staying two weeks in Ios Greece, I discovered the best-kept secrets and hidden gems of the island. Here is the ultimate Ios Greece travel guide.
Ios Island Greece Travel Guide
When to Visit
The best time to visit is June to early September. Businesses start to shut down when the tourist season ends, so be sure to plan your trip before the second week of September.
How Long to Stay
3 days is the perfect amount of time in Ios.
What to Wear
The weather during peak season is hot, so pack light and airy clothing. Towards late August/early September it can get quite windy, so consider bringing a jacket.
Chora (pronounced hor-ah) means the main town or village. This is the main area of Ios where you will find the best dinner spots, shopping, and nightlife. While it’s nice to explore during the day, the Chora comes to life at night around 8 pm. You will spend most of your evenings here!
Mylopotas Beach
Mylopotas is where to spend your day before heading up the Chora. It’s the perfect place to sunbathe and grab an iced latte or fresh orange juice. There are lots of cafes, shops, and brunch spots.
The Port
While most of the time you will likely be exploring the Chora or Mylopotas, there are some nice restaurants and hotels near the port.
Best Beaches
There are literally dozens of beaches in Ios. Here are the best beaches accessible by foot or ATV;
Mylopotas Beach
Mylopotas Beach
The most popular beach in Ios in terms of accessibility, beauty, and comfort. It’s a 20-minute walk from the Chora or a short drive or bus ride. It has rows of restaurants, cafes, lounge chairs, and shops
Maganari Beach
Taking the bus to Maganari from the town center is a MUST. Maganari is considered to be the most beautiful beach in Ios. It’s quieter, and the beach and water are just stunning.
Kolitsani Beach
Perhaps a beach for the more…adventurous! Kolitsani is an optional nude beach located halfway between the Chora and Maganari Beach.
Mills is a family-owned traditional greek tavern located at the top of the Chora, right next to the windmills. This was my favorite restaurant by far in Ios.
Nest
Another fantastic greek traditional tavern is located in the center of the Chora.
Katogi
Katogi is a trendy tapas restaurant in the center of the Chora. The space is small and popular, so make a reservation.
Best Brunch Spots
Nutelleria
Nutelleria
This is a great cheap and quick grab-and-go brunch when you’re eager to start your day!
Cantina Del Mar
This was my favorite sit-down brunch spot. The food and portions were fantastic and it has a beautiful view of Mylopots beach.
Harmony
Harmony sits on the opposite side of Mylopotas. It’s the perfect spot to get an acai bowl and even take part in their yoga on certain weekdays.
