Athens It is the capital of Greece and the center of the political, cultural and economic life of the country. With a history that has its origins three thousand years ago, Athens is a city that has important archaeological sites, monuments, sculptures, and even buildings from its Roman and Byzantine times.
If we have Athens as next travel destination but we have a limited budget, we can visit the following destinations for free:
Port of Piraeus. Recognized as the oldest port in Athens, the Port of Piraeus has three natural harbors and is one of the most important points of trade in the Mediterranean Sea.
Syntagma Square. Located in the center of what is known as modern Athens, the square is home to the Parliament of Athens and the Monument to the Unknown Soldier. In this place we can also see the évzones (The National Guard of Athens).
Marathon Lake. Located in the north of Athens, this man-made lake is recognized for the white Pentelic marble that has been used for its covering.
National Gardens. Located in the center of Athens, these gardens created in the XNUMXth century are ideal to spend the afternoon, in addition, in its surroundings we will find tourist attractions such as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the street of Herod Atticus and the Zappeion.
Monastiraki Square. In this square we will not only be able to visit the Orthodox Monastery of Monastiraki but we will also find in its surroundings a typical street market very popular among tourists.
The Lake of Vouliagmeni. Here we will find an ideal spa to be visited all year round since its thermal waters maintain an average temperature of 24 degrees.
If we can allocate between eight to fifteen euros to pay tickets for some Athens tourist attractions, we recommend not to stop visit the Ancient Agora, Lantern of Lysicrates, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Acropolis and the Ceramic.
