The Acropolis means high city in greek. This place in Athens is a timeless masterpiece of ancient Greek culture. The Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, is the centerpiece with its grand Doric columns and intricate details. Nearby, the Erechtheion showcases the stunning Caryatid statues, and the Temple of Athena Nike symbolizes victory. The Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a Roman-era amphitheater, is still used for performances.

The cradle of civilisation
One of the most iconic landmarks in the world can be found in the heart of Athens and its iconic Acropolis.
Stood on a rocky outcrop, the site dominates the Athens skyline and walking around the site its hard not to be romanticised by the history on display here. The relatively new Acropolis museum nearby is also well worth taking the time to visit, especially considering a large amount of the sites artefacts have been moved there for preservation.

Visiting Athens for the fifth time 🇬🇷
#traveldiaries
I just returned from a fantastic trip to Athens, and I can’t stop raving about it! 🇬🇷 The city is a vibrant mix of ancient history and modern life. My first stop was the Acropolis, where the entrance fee was around 20 EUR. The Parthenon took my breath away, and the view of the city from up there is unforgettable.
Wandering through the Plaka neighborhood was another highlight. The charming streets are filled with quaint shops and delightful tavernas. I tried some traditional moussaka and it was delicious! 🍽️ I also visited the ancient Agora, where I marveled at the ruins and learned so much about Athenian life.
I loved how walkable the city is, with plenty of nearby attractions like the Temple of Olympian Zeus. Athens is truly a city that offers something for everyone!

My Athens adventure was unforgettable! 🌟 The city’s rich history and vibrant culture made every moment special. I explored the Acropolis and its stunning Parthenon for about €20, which was worth every cent for the history and views. The nearby Acropolis Museum (€10) was fascinating, showcasing ancient artifacts and offering insights into Athens’ storied past. 🏛️
Strolling through Plaka, the old neighborhood, was a highlight—charming streets, local shops, and delicious Greek food. 🍇 For a bit of relaxation, I visited the National Garden of Athens, a serene escape right in the city. 🌿
Be sure to check out Syntagma Square and witness the changing of the guard at the Parliament Building. 📸 The blend of ancient and modern Athens made my trip truly memorable. Highly recommend this city for anyone eager to dive into history and culture! #trip #Athens #TravelChecklist #Greece #Acropolis #TravelTips
Ancient Greek civilization is just magnificent!!!
This should be the first thing on what-to-do list in Athens. You can get your ticket online earlier or on the spot. There are many things to see, including Parthenon, Erechtheion, Theatre of Dionysus, Temple of Athena Nike, and Propylaea. It just gives you an idea how magnificent it used to be in Ancient Greece. Summer time can be hot, so sunscreen and water are very important.

The Beautiful Acropolis and its other accompanying sites
Lovely weather in Athens. It’s a beautiful morning and the ancient ruins are such a dear to me as I love history artifacts. The view from top of the acropolis is equally beautiful as you can see the city of Athens below.
It is a moment that I will not forget in my life. Highly recommend to visit
P.S Please book your tickets in advance and as early as possible. My ticket was for 8am, hence there wasn’t many tourist blocking the view and it’s nicer to take photos with no one around. By the time it’s 8.30am, the whole acropolis is swarmed with visitors on a weekday Monday. #Greece #Athens #Acropolis

📌”The Erechtheion" or Temple of Athena Polias
📍Address: Acropolis of Athens, Athens 105 58, Greece
Erechtheion is an ancient Greek temple located on the north side of the Acropolis of Athens. It is one of the most significant and distinctive buildings on the Acropolis and is renowned for its architectural elegance and historical significance. The temple was dedicated to Athena Polias, Poseidon, and Erechtheus, a legendary Athenian king. This porch is supported by six female figures, known as Caryatids, instead of traditional columns. One of the original Caryatids was removed and is now housed in the Acropolis Museum, while the others have been replaced with replicas to preserve them from further damage. Today, the Erechtheion is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who come to admire its architectural beauty and learn about its rich history and cultural significance within the context of ancient Greece.

Room with a Parthenon view (Athens, Greece)
This is the view from my apartment balcony. Hello Parthenon in Athens! 🇬🇷🏛
Having a great view is one of my travel
indulgences now that I am of a certain age and inclination… when before I would scrimp on a few items to economise and stretch my travel
dollar, I would now gladly pay for to add better value to my trip. Experience and atmosphere is certainly worth paying for, especially for the traveller that O am now… 😎
For the same reason, I chose to pay for a caldera-view accommodation in Santorini. Comment if you want to see it!

Unforgettable visit to Acropolis of Athens!
Located in Athens, this beautifully preserved historical site are located on top of hill and it can easily reached by tourist. Slowly strolling around the site, I am simply speechless and amazed by the richness of Greek history.
At first, we are greeted by the Theatre of Dionysus Eleuthereus. After enjoy a short seating in the theater, we continue our walk to Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Followed by Pandroseion and finally we reached the Parthenon! No words can describe my feeling when we saw Parthenon. Humbled and totally speechless! We took a great moments just to read all of greek historical story and enjoyed the view!
Definitely one of unforgettable trips that I had in my life!
