Which are the best places to explore in Athens and Attica? 

Here is a list with Athens attractions 

Athens Seven Hills

Seven or more, while in Athens, the very ground beneath your feet is steeped in ancient lore. The city’s famed hills of Athens don’t just offer spectacular views – they unlock the secrets of the past. Lace up your hiking shoes and let these stamped-earth wonders transport you to the realms of gods and heroes.  Athens is built on hills, where all of them include something unique you can gain by visiting them. Many of them are related to magnificent myths, such as that of Athena and Lycabettus, but we will not start from this one, we will start with Acropolis and Pnyx. The latter is the hill where democracy was performed, today an open-air museum, a place with a magnificent view where you can enjoy a perfect dinner next to Acropolis, at Dionysus.

Marathon

Marathon, where Persians landed and a great battle for the west was given and now the word means the famous Race of 42 kilometers that separate Athens from its plain. Today in the area there is the Archeological space +302294055462 that you can see the tomb, constructed after the battle, to honour the 192 dead Athenian hoplites. We dont know if its the autentic tomb or bulit later, but its located on the proper location.
