Founded in 1842, it is the oldest research foundation in Greece. The donor was the Baron Georgios Sinas, ambassador in Vienna. The building is fantastic and overlooks the whole area of the ancient city of Athens. There are guided tours at nights and the ticket is cheap. You can also see planets of our solar system through a historic telescope in the nearby dome. An excellent opportunity to learn about the universe. Highly recommended!.
