An accountant by profession, Glenaldo (Glenn) Gregorio Pena has served as a district advisor for the Contra Costa County Office of Education. Glenaldo Gregorio Pena has traveled to many places around the world, including Athens, Greece.
Here are the top three places to visit in Athens:
i) The Acropolis
This hill is the most popular tourist site in Athens, perhaps because it houses numerous Greek ruins. Perched atop the 511-foot-high hill are the Parthenon temple, one of the largest temples in history, and the Acropolis citadel, an administrative center in ancient Greece. The hill offers truly unique views of Greek monuments below juxtaposed against the more modern city.
ii) Plaka
Almost like an island in the mainland, Plaka is the place to experience genuine Greek culture at its finest. The district is very private, featuring stone walkways, green leaf canopies, boutique shops, ancient trees, and cafes serving authentic Greek food.
iii) Agora
Agora was a popular marketplace in ancient Greece where people gathered to trade, engage in civic debates, and share insights about the universe. The name Agora actually means, “gather and orate.” Theater performances and athletic events also took place there.
