Next, it will be time for something a little more modern - the House of the Greek Parliament. Admire the ceremonial process of the guard change before going to the National Gardens to cool off a little. Finally, it will be time for you to visit historical sites. Explore the Temple of Zeus and take some pictures of its crumbling ruins. Your guide will fill you in on the significance of the temple before you arrive at the Acropolis - the crowning jewel of Athens. The ancient city is not only home to the Parthenon, but also to iconic theaters like the Temple of Dionysus.
