Greece - Athens / Αθήνα

I was going to do one big update but thought better of it. I will break each post into cities/regions I want to see in Greece with my trip with my friend Rachelle.

Αθήνα (as it's spelled in Greek)

What I would like to see:
  1. The Acropolis
    1. It's historical aspect, what history nerd wouldn't want to see it up close and in person?
    2. The Parthenon
    3. Temple of Athena Nike 
    4. Panathenaic Way
    5. Statue of Athena Promachos
    6. Erechtheion
    7. Theatre of Dionysos
    8. Acropolis Museum
  2. Ancient Agora
  3. Hardrian's Arch
  4. Temple of Olympian Zeus
  5. Roman Baths
  6. Panathenaic Stadium
  7. National Archaeological Museum
    1. I think Rachelle and I would both enjoy making a visit to this museum.
  8. Benaki Museum
    1. See reason above.
  9. Goulandris Museum of Cycladic & Ancient Greek Art
  10. National Art Gallery
    1. Rachelle and I are both lovers of art. I couldn't think of anyone else to take in such a place.
  11. National Gardens
    1. I see myself easily enjoying an afternoon here, and I think Rachelle would love it too.
  12. Parliament
    1. I'm nerdy like that.
  13. Athens' First Cemetery
    1. Who wouldn't want to see this?
  14. Planetarium
    1. Longest inside running joke with Rachelle <3
