Tour the Acropolis

If you are in Greece then this is probably the number one attraction not to miss the complex, made from glittering marble, used to be the site of the famous statue of Athena who was also the goddess of Athens.

Anyone remotely interested in ancient architecture can marvel at the Doric columns and the spectacular temples and the Acropolis is lined with pathways that let you walk around at your leisure and enjoy the highlight of this monument.

The Athens Acropolis is the largest ancient Greek architectural complex that is still standing today. This iconic UNESCO world heritage site is perched atop a hill and is a feast for the eyes of everyone who enjoys history and ancient Greek ruins. It is a must-see monument.

The most important structure on the Acropolis, the Parthenon stands erect atop the hill's summit and represents the timeless beauty of ancient Athens. Visit the Acropolis Historic Museum, which preserves the artifacts from this archaeological site, to discover more about Greece's ancient past. Then, proceed to the Ancient Agora, which was a well-known gathering spot in the ancient city, located on the northwest side of the Acropolis.
