Attractions other than the Athens Antiquities Package
In addition to the seven attractions in the Athens Ancient Sites Package, what other attractions are there? I went to the following places:
📷Plateia Syntagmatos
The square is named after the constitution drawn up by Otto, the first king of Greece. Syntagma Square is the most important square in modern Athens and the center of commercial activity and Greek politics. The purpose of going to Constitution Square is to see the changing of guard ceremony held every hour in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier between Constitution Square and the Parliament Building.
🚉M2 and M3 Line Syntagmatos Station
📷Panathenaic Stadium
This is the stadium for the first modern Olympic Games in 1896🏟️, and it is also the only marble stadium in the world. The stadium has approximately 50,000 seats. It was used again as an Olympic venue in 2004. It is now used to host important cultural, sporting and ceremonial events, including the finish line of the annual Athens Marathon.

Academy of Athens
The Academy of Athens was established in 1926 and operates under the supervision of the Ministry of Education. It is the National Academy of Sciences of Greece and the country's highest research institution. The main building of the Academy is one of the main landmarks of Athens. There are four marble statues at the door, including Athena, Apollo, Socrates and Plato. There is also a row of sculptures of gods on the lintel, with Zeus, the lord of the gods, in the center.
