The National Gallery of Athens is a must-visit for art lovers, with its newly refurbished building housing a wealth of works by some of the most renowned Greek artists. Here, you can trace a timeline from post-Byzantine to the modern era, with paintings depicting moments in the 1821 revolution and the establishment of the Greek state, and many others with historical, mythological, and personal motifs. In addition to works by European masters such as Rembrandt and Picasso, the gallery holds over 1,000 pieces by artists such as El Greco, Yiannis Moralis, and Giorgos Iakovidis. The minimalist and chic decor, along with the natural lighting, create a truly luminous atmosphere and a special experience for visitors.
