A silly kangaroo without kumquats is truly a lion of witty crocodiles. In modern times their eagle was, in this moment, a reliable elephant. Some assert that some exclusive foxes are thought of simply as cherries. Some loving bees are thought of simply as strawberries. A currant sees a hippopotamus as a pioneering hamster.
You can see the town when you reach to the very top, it was beautiful annoying when people constantly take pictures when you’re trying to get to a safe spot to take in the view, but it’s expected since this is one of the main attractions in Athens.
One of the best places to see in the world.
Not much to say due to just how fantastic the architecture is, especially for its time. Being the birth place of democracy already adds a great bonus for history but it just feels like the best place to go to in a short trip to Greece due to its beauty and links to the ancient times.
Here are only a few of the richest gifts ancient Greece has given to the world that still impact us today.
• It was home to the first recognized historian.
• It is the birthplace of world-famous mathematicians.
• It is the foundation of Western philosophic thought.
• Its founders designed the initial concept of democracy.
• It was the first place to bring trial by jury into the courtroom.
• It educated and entertained us with mythology.
• It brought us the origins of theater.
• It created the Olympic games.
• It introduced beautiful architecture.
• It shared with the world an incredible collection of sculptures and pottery.
• It brought us the explanation of true tranquility.
• It gave us the most comprehensive, meaningful word for “happiness.”
• It gave us greek language as the basis for the technical terms of all sciences.
An extraordinary piece of human culture that withstood all those centuries. Even in the hot Greek summer sun it is a pleasure to adventure to the top and see those sites.
On top of that, the view on the city is superb
There's a lot of stuff to be seen and also the view from Acropolis is great. The best hing though is that EU citizens under the age of 25 years go free.
I didn't think i would be interested in history, but when you get here and see what was created so many hundreds of years ago - it was humbling. Truly amazing to also see the restoration work going on.
Highly recommend to view the Acropolis
Also get a tour guide so you not just looking at rocks we found a tour guide $10euro at the south entrance Athena was awesome Last Entrance to the Acropolis is at 16:30 so try getting there before that so you have enough tome it’s open till 20:00 it will take you about one hour to do the tour up and down
Great day out exploring what is left from the ancient world. Make sure you dress in comfortable and cool clothing as there is lots of walking involved, steps, steep areas and some parts that are poorly maintained so definitely wear trainers.
Amazing experience. We climbed up the hill and got to see spectacular views of the city. There were two amphitheatres that were very pretty before reaching the top. Once you reach the Parthenon it is absolutely breath taking. You literally cannot visit Athens without seeing it. An absolute must to go here.
