#summervacay If you're planning a trip to Greece, the Acropolis of Athens is an absolute MUST-SEE! Seriously, it's not just a place; it's an entire journey back to the roots of Western civilization. Perched majestically on a limestone hill right in the heart of Athens, this ancient citadel literally oversees the entire city from its 150-meter height. The views alone are worth the climb! 😍 Imagine walking where ancient philosophers, artists, and leaders once stood, all built during the incredible "Age of Pericles" in the 5th century BC. Every stone here whispers stories of a glorious past! Acropolis Highlights You CANNOT Miss! 📸🏛️ The Parthenon: An Architectural Masterpiece! Oh, the Parthenon! It's truly the crown jewel of the Acropolis and dedicated to the powerful goddess Athena. You'll be absolutely floored by its sheer scale and the precision of its Doric columns, built between 447 BC and 438 BC. Fun fact: It once housed a colossal 12-meter statue of Athena, shimmering with gold and ivory! Can you even imagine?! 🤯 It's no wonder this is considered the pinnacle of classical architecture. Prepare to be awestruck! The Erechtheion & Its Famous Maidens! Next up, make your way to the unique Erechtheion. While the whole temple is fascinating, you'll instantly fall in love with its iconic "Porch of the Maidens" (Caryatids)! Six elegant, sculpted female figures holding up the roof – it’s simply captivating and so photo-worthy. 💁♀️ This multi-tiered temple honored Athena, Poseidon, and King Erechtheus, showcasing the Greeks' incredible ingenuity in building on uneven terrain. Visiting the Acropolis is more than just sightseeing; it's an immersive experience that connects you directly to history. Wear comfy shoes, bring your camera, and get ready to be inspired!

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. #greece #athens #ancientgreece #acropolis #acropolisofathens #parthenon #erechtheion #theatreofdionysus #templeofathenanike #europe #europeanvacation #vacation

When visiting the Parthenon you can buy a ticket at the entrance or gain access as part of a tour or having an Athens Pass, I opted for an Athens pass that allows access to various key places that are close to eachother making days exploring Athens exciting and easy. The walk up the Parthenon is easy and takes around 10-15 minutes depending on the foot traffic, once at the Parthenon you are able to witness the huge architectural achievement that still stands today. Once at the top you are gifted to an amazing view with the Greek flag flying high creating a real amazing moment that for me was a key highlight of my trip. When visiting Greece visiting the Parthenon is on everyone’s bucket list and I would recommend the same, definitely check it out! #greece #athens #parthenon

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.

Amazing trip to the acropolis. This is definitely “must visit” place in Greece. You will be exited of seeing all this huge ancient buildings made of pure marble. Big respects to the team who are working on the reconstruction of the sites, you can see a big jog they have done where the “Snow White” marble parts are, these are the new ones. I highly recommend to enter the acropolis from the main entrance despite huge lines for tickets and to the entrance also! After you enter go direct to Parthenon and to the view square with Greek flag to see the Olymp and little part of stadium, after the best way is to go down and see the theater and head to exit! have a nice trip and stay in Athens #athens #parthenon

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! #historicculture #acropolis #athens #parthenon #greekhistory

#getgoing2025 #nashville #parthenon #athena The Parthenon in Nashville is an amazing replica of the one in Athens. I was so fascinated by the structure of the building that I decided to go in and visit this museum. They offer discounted tickets for students. The huge statue of Athens inside the building really took my breath away. There is an art gallery here as well. This museum is really a well managed and well designed place. It’s a must visit in Nashville. You will get a lot of information about Greek Mythology here. Do stop by. Trust me you won’t regret it.

Address - Athenaeum Eridanus Luxury Hotel Luxury on a budget!! This 4star beautiful unassuming hotel came with a balcony and an amazing view of the Pantheon during day and espescially at night. It is literally about a 10min walk to the heart of the city and some of their main attractions such as the ruins. The location wise doesn't seem too safe at night but we always got back safe via the local ubers which were easy to get. Great service with an amazing rooftop restaurant for breakfast. Big spacious rooms and modern bathroom. I would recommend this place for a budget stay that is a short walk to the main attractions. #athens #greece #parthenon
