If you are up to a trip a few kilometres outside Athens, you shouldn't miss Sounio the Temple of Poseidon overlooking the sea at sundown when the colours are mellow and golden! There's also a beach nearby where you can have a lovely swim in the clear waters and some great restaurants in the nearby town of Lavrion, as well.

Visit Syntagma (Constitution) Square and watch the Evzones - the soldiers in their traditional costumes guard the cenotaph of those who anonymously fell for the country in the wars. Watch the change of the guards with its very interesting choreography.
Syntagma Square derives its name from the demonstrations of the Athenians, who, in 1843, gathered in front of the then Royal Palace demanding that the country be given a Constitution.
