We will meet near Syntagma, the main square of Athens, on top of which the House of the Greek Parliament stands. In front of it we will stop to see the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers and the Evzones in their traditional uniform guarding it. We will continue our pleasant walk through the National Gardens and pass by Zappeion Hall, a palatial building constructed during the late 19th century. Continuing South, we will walk by the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the nearby Hadrian's Gate, a triumphant arch build during the 2nd century AD to commemorate the Roman Emperor.
We now find ourselves in the precipice of the area known as Plaka, arguably the most picturesque neighborhood of Athens. We will walk by quaint craft shops and neoclassical houses with the imposing look of Acropolis above us. Nearby we will see the Athenian Agora, the Observatories and the hills of Philipappos and Pnyx. In the street of Dionysiou Areopagitou we will pass by the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a Roman amphitheater which houses concerts and operas to this day.
