The city of Athens, whose webcams can be viewed online, is the cradle of ancient Western civilization.
A huge number of attractions are concentrated here, from the ancient Parthenon to modern cultural centers and tourist infrastructure facilities. And all this is complemented by stunning nature, warm sea and endless opportunities for an unforgettable vacation.
One of the most interesting objects of Athens, in addition to the world-famous Acropolis, is the Benaki Museum.
It was founded by Antonis Benakis, who lived in Alexandria at the end of the 19th century. This institution is considered to be one of the best in the country. Within the walls of this three-story building, a real treasury of artifacts belonging to various historical eras, from the Bronze Age to the Second World War, is kept.
Byzantine icons, a huge collection of national Greek costumes and samples of folk arts and crafts make a special impression. Here, the interiors of Macedonian mansions were authentically recreated, which were decorated with skillful carved and painted elements.
One of the oldest Greek temples is located in the heart of the city. However, this one, unlike the Doric Parthenon, belongs to the Corinthian. This is the temple of Olympian Zeus, which is amazing in its scale, even though only 15 of the 104 17-meter columns have survived to this day.
Among the oldest objects in Athens is the Odeon Amphitheater of Herodes Atticus, which was built in the 2nd century on the initiative of the wealthy citizen Herodotus Atticus, as a tribute to the memory of his wife Regilla.
The object was mined from the earth in the middle of the 19th century, and 100 years later it was completely restored. Today, it hosts all sorts of musical and theatrical events during the summer months, including the annual Athens Festival. Often this ancient venue becomes a place for concerts of famous pop stars and show business. It is recommended to visit this place no less than the Acropolis and the temple of Athena the Virgin.
