The sanctuary of Artemis at Brauronis an early sacred site on the eastern coast of Attica near the Aegean Sea in a small inlet. The cult of Artemis Brauronia connected the coastal sanctuary at Brauron with another sanctuary on the acropolis in Athens, the Brauroneion, from which there was a procession every four years during the Arkteia festival.
Behind the site, there is wonderful beach very close to the sight where you can enjoy the swiming
Archaeological Site of Brauron
Watching the sunset from Lycabettus Hill is one of the best things to do in Athens. Not only is the sunset stunning, but you get amazing views of Athens from here. You can also see the Acropolis all lit up for the evening.
There is a funicular to take you up and down if you don’t want to climb the hill. The cost for the funicular is €7.50 return or €5 for a one-way ticket.

Watch the Changing of the Guard.
This is one of the best things to do in Athens. To catch this weekly event, you must be in Athens on a Sunday. The Changing of the Guard takes place at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which is near the Parliament building. It takes place at 11:00am and is free to watch.
The soldiers are dressed in the traditional Greek ceremonial uniform. And while they may look a little unusual, they are highly trained soldiers called the Evezone.

My favourate place for a walk!
Aegina
This stunning ancient temple sits at the Aegean Sea and was built in the 5th-century. An inscription at the temple confirms that it was built for Poseidon. You should try to be here early in the morning or for sunset. You can sometimes see several islands on a clear day from the temple.
Technically this is a day trip from Athens as it’s 70kms south of the city. There is a bus from Athens from the Mavromateon Terminal and you can also get it from Syntagma Square. Look for the bus going to Sounio. The bus fare one-way is €6.90.

Φαγητό
Loukoumades is a Greek donut. It’s a small puff pastry that is soaked in honey and sprinkled with cinnamon. Try with sesame seeds once too. They are delicious! It is not far from O Thanasis so after eating your kebab you can have a donut for dessert!
