The 10 Best Things to do in Akadimia (Academy), Attica
Once known for smog, traffic and tacky architecture, Athens is a city reformed thanks to fortunes brought by the 2004 Summer Olympics. Spotless parks and streets, an ultra-modern subway, new freeways, an accessible airport and all signs in perfect English make the city easily negotiable. Meriting more than a stopover en route to the islands, sophisticated Athens sites include many pillars of Western history, from the Acropolis to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, as well as treasures in the National Archaeological Museum.

In a Boulevard of marvellous buildings, this place of worship is magnificent. A Neo-Renaissance façade in gorgeous hued marble comprises an array of columns and arches atop a series of steps in the same stone. Inside is beautiful. From the entrance is an awe-inspiring vision of columns and arches leading to the high altar. This is crowned with a glorious semi-dome which is resplendent with a frescoed Apotheosis of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite. Throughout, holy images in paintings and sculpture are splendid. One in particular shows Christ Pantocrator with the bible in one hand.

Situated on next to Panepistimio metro station this is an amazing example of the Classical Greek architecture, and it is in wonderful condition given the pollution in the city along with the frequency of student unrest etc and political unease. The buildings are in excellent condition, devoid of graffiti and you can appreciate the columns and edifice in their glory. Externally the building can be reached from Eleftheriou Venizelou through orange trees and you are initially greeted with seated statues of Plato and Socrates before climbing a few steps and seeing the main entrance in front of you flanked by Athena and Apollo atop very high columns. The exterior decoration is superb and one wonders how the Parthenon may have looked if in a similar condition. Inside you are able to see at least the main chamber and once more it is superbly decorated and in great condition. Entrance is free and you will not be disappointed.

It looked marvellous on the clear azure sky day of our visit. Ascending the sweeping stairway we admired its marble and soaring columns. Housing the library for well over a century, the limitations on space and its infrastructure led to planning for a new library. This opened in 2018 as part of the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Institution towards the south of the city. Currently Greek newspaper and magazine archives are kept in this landmark construct. Plans for its future use are apparently under discussion.
