14:00: Head over to Thiseio area of Athens!
Thiseio is a historic area of Athens, Greece, just northwest of the Acropolis. It is known for its scenic pedestrian streets, cultural attractions, and many historical landmarks.
One of the main attractions is the Temple of Hephaestus, which was mistakenly known as the Temple of Theseus in reference to the mythical King of Athens. Thiseio is home to numerous churches, synagogues, museums, galleries, and cultural meeting points, such as the Melina Mercouri Cultural Center.
There are open-air ancient theaters, like the Odeon of Herodes Atticus amphitheater, and plenty of interesting shops and cafes to be found there. At night, visitors can take in the beautiful views of the Acropolis from the Areopagus hill. Thiseio is a wonderful place to explore Athens' rich history, culture, and traditions.</p>
