Discover Athens

The Acropolis, the Agoras, Plaka and the city after dark: the NUR Hospitality Collection guide to Athens, written by the people who host you there.

• The Acropolis — Go early or late, when the light is low and the rock is quiet. The Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the view over the whole city.
• Plaka — Wander the narrow streets of Plaka, the old neighbourhood beneath the Acropolis.
• Ancient Agora — Walk the Ancient Agora, once the heart of Athens' civic life.
• Nightlife in Athens — Athens after dark: rooftop bars, live Greek music and late dinners, with the Acropolis lit above.
• Roman Agora — Where Athens met Rome: the Tower of the Winds and the old Roman marketplace.
• Syntagma Square — The centre of modern Athens: the Parliament, the guard and the shade of the National Gardens.
• Panathenaic Stadium — The marble stadium where the first modern Olympic Games opened in 1896.
