A VISIT TO ATHENS
Athens is one of the oldest cities of the world.It is the capital city of Greece.A citizen of Athen is called an Athenian.
Athens is a city that I have always loved to visit because of its rich history and cultural heritage.
It is worthy is note that civilization cannot be talked about without mentioning Athens.
Athens is not surprisingly the home town of notable figures like Socrates,Pericles and Sophocles.
It is a beautiful city with lots of sites of tourist attraction and places of relaxation.I had to visit a few places in Athens inorder to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the city.

1•NATIONAL ARCHAEOLOGY MUSEUM

This is the largest museum in the entire Greece.It is dated to the 19th century.It is located at 44 Patission Street,Athens.
The museum offers an account/overview of Greek civilization from prehistory up until the classical period of late antiquity.
Like I mentioned earlier in the post.Athens has got a lot of places of attraction.
There sections in the museum.The sections include but not limited to:

This section is where sculptures of ancient Greek origin from 6th century BC to 5th century BC.These sculptures are nothing short of a master piece.
