A symbol of the Greek nation? The Acropolis Hill. At its base, Plaka – a tapestry of narrow side streets, souvenir shops, taverns, coffeehouses – and Monastiraki, the antiquities market, a sort of museum where history is written in the mixture of aristocratic or traditional objects. At the base of the opposite hill one of the largest museums of history and archaeology in the world. The urban landscape is enriched by the Piraeus Harbour, which balances contemporary frenzy with the majesty of the sites from the golden century of Pericles. And above all, rules the Parthenon – the supreme lesson in classical architecture.
