#travelgram Visiting Athens was an incredible experience! Walking through the ancient city felt like stepping into history. The highlight was, of course, the Acropolis. The entrance fee was €20, but it’s totally worth it for the views of the Parthenon and the whole city from the top! The climb is a bit steep, but the panoramic view of Athens is breathtaking. You can also visit the Acropolis Museum, which costs €10, and it’s full of fascinating artifacts from ancient Greece. Plaka, the old neighborhood just below the Acropolis, was another favorite spot. The narrow streets, charming tavernas, and lively vibe made it the perfect place for lunch. I had the best souvlaki there and loved wandering through the small shops. If you’re into history, don’t miss the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and for a bit of relaxation, head over to the National Gardens, right in the heart of the city. Athens is a perfect blend of ancient wonders and modern life. 🇬🇷 #AthensAdventure #AncientGreece #AcropolisViews #GreekHistory #PlakaWanderings #SouvlakiHeaven

I spent easily over 2 hours here stunning peaceful place to walk and take in the history and views of the acropolis. I recommend downloading get your guide as it gives you access to the place and it would locate where you are and give you a tour as you walk of the different places without having a tour guide and you could take as much time looking as you want. The ancient agora dealt with the business legal political sphere it really feels historical but tranquil despite all the crazy things that happened in the agora. There is also a museum with interesting relics and art, walk up to the temple of grand Temple of Hephaistos and see the 11th-century Byzantine Church of the Holy Apostles, which has brick patterns that mimic Arabic calligraphy. This place is great if you want to soak up the history and relax in nature with a beautiful scenic walk. #athensviews #travel #Socrates #legalhistoryjourney #ancientgreece
