The Temple of Artemis was built in the late 5th century Β.C. in replacing an older archaic temple, in place, the chapel of Agios Georgios stands today.
In the sanctuary other than Artemis, which is one of the oldest goddesses in the Pantheon of the Gods, Iphigenia, Lton, Apollo and Dionysos were worshiped. The rich elements found and exhibited at the Museum prove the worship of Artemis as a goddess of nature, Korotofios, children's patent, as well as small animals. A magnificent procession (theory) started every 5 years from the Acropolis to celebrate the Vravronia in the Sanctuary of the Goddess, during which athletic and musical matches were held, as well as charts. An important moment of the celebration was the ritual of the Arctics whereby young children failed their initiation. (It was a mystery ceremony, in which the girls were taking place before they reach the age of the ransom. The virgins, called Arkti, took a mandatory place at the Vravronian ceremony, which was done every four years).

Valanari's stream is one of the latest wild ravines near Athens. The Name of Valanaris is attributed to the oak forest that once dominated on the surrounding hills. The stream starts from the Highs of Maurinora in South Penteli, initially moving south and then leaves east where it creates Rafina's stream on a 16 kilometer route. In the middle of his journey, at the height of Drafi, he creates a waterfall, a height of 6 meters, from the few in Attica.

The temple of Poseidon is built in the southernmost point o of Attica, on the peak of the rocky hill in the Aegean Sea, at Cape Sounion. According to mythology, this amazing area of the Attica land was where Aegeus committed suicide, the beloved king of Athens, and as a result of that, the Athenians named the surrounding area of Attica the “Aegean Sea”. When Aegeus saw the black sails of the Athenian ship returning from Knossos, he thought that his son, Theseus, had died. Theseus is considered to be one of the most popular characters of the Mythology. For the Athenians, he was a brave young man, who saved the city of Athens, since he managed to reach Knossos to face, and finally defeat Minotaur.
The temple was dedicated to Poseidon, the god of sea, and was built twice. The first temple was much bigger and had to Colossal Kouros. In the beginning of the 5th century it was destroyed by the Persian raids. When the Persian wars ended, Pericles ordered for a new temple, made of marble, to be built. The temple was finished at 440 BC, it’s of Dorian order, and is also innovating for its era, since with the changes in its architecture managed a great capacity. The marble used for the temple was from the Agrileza and Paros. Next to the temple of Poseidon, a less known temple was located, dedicated to goddess Athena.
The temple of Poseidon had already been ruined by the Roman Era. During the modern years, parts of the temple were detached and moved to museums or private collections in England, Italy and Germany. The ruins of the temple and parts of the walls of the fort are still saved and are accessible to all visitors. Bas-reliefs from the metopes of the temple that have been preserved from the harsh conditions are kept in the museum of Lavrion, whereas the wider proximity was announced as a National Park for its environmental value.

The Olympian Marina of Lavrion is close to Cape Sounion, a hotspot for sailing and yachting fans. However, the area of Lavrion was known since ancient times for the rich resources it had, mined from the Athenians. Today, the “Technological and Cultural Park of Lavrion” is located where the old factory used to be.

The Acropolis of Athens is a natural rocky hill, reaching 160 meters in height, in the heart of today’s Athens, with a unique view of the whole city and the Saronic Gulf. It has been inhabited since the 3rd millennium B.C. and due to its morphology, it was a natural fort. The top of the hill was wide enough and there were many springs there, making it inhabitable. It was the house of the king of Athens, who managed to fortify the Acropolis with a stone wall. Moreover, it was used as a place to worship religious ceremonies from the 8th century B.C. with a small temple, dedicated to the protector of the city, goddess Athena. A wooden statue of Athena made out of olive trees was kept in the temple, which, according to the legend, had fallen from the sky.
Since the 6th century B.C, sanctuaries were starting to being built in the Acropolis, which were later on destroyed during the Persian Wars. The reconstruction of the walls and sanctuaries started on the era of Pericles in the 5th century B.C., right after the loss of the Persians in the Naval Battle of Salamis. The Parthenon, the Erechteion, the Propylaea and the Temple of Athena Nike. During the Roman period some more buildings were added, during the Byzantine period The Parthenon turned into a Christian church, whereas during the Turkish occupation it was used as a mosque. During the Turkish occupation, the Acropolis sustained the most damage. Before the Greek revolution, the Ottomans cooperated with the English lord Elgin, and caused the biggest disaster, forcefully removing all those beautiful monuments of Acropolis. Among the monuments, the best of them are;
THE PARTHENON
The Parthenon is the biggest and most amazing marble building in the Acropolis. It was a point of reference in the Classical period. It comes by no surprise that it takes the first place out of all the ancient buildings from every aspect e.g. architectural, construction, location etc. It is the result of scientific breakthroughs in the field of mathematics and art. A statue of goddess Athena, made out of gold and ivory, used to be ion the center of the temple.
THE ERECHTEION
It’s a temple dedicated to goddess Athena and god Poseidon. It is built in the place where the mythology has it that those two gods fought each other for the supremacy of the city. After the win of goddess Athena, the citizens delivered the keys of the city and they named their city to Athens, which had been named Kekropia until then. It is very popular for the beautiful marble women who are named Caryatides.
THE PROPYLEA
The Propylaea is the booth before entering the Acropolis which was built after the completion of the Parthenon. However, the Propylaea were never built, due to the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta.
THE TEMPLE OF ATHENA NIKI
The temple has been preserved and is in very good condition compared to other monuments. It is a small marble temple, dedicated to goddess Athena without wings, so she never leaves the city.

A little surprise in Ippokratio Politia, half an hour from the center of Athens.
Between pines and firs on the eastern slopes of Parnitha is the artificial lake Beletsi. Its waters are supplied by the spring located north of the lake, as well as by rainwater. Residents, familiar with visitors, and willing to make friends for a small treat, are the ducks and swans that make their presence felt. The lake is also inhabited by carps and eels, several sea turtles, and at times make a stop here and migratory birds.
