The famous Acropolis of Athens

1. Visit the Acropolis
The Acropolis of Athens is not only Greece’s most important landmark but also one of the most impressive and most significant historic monuments in the whole world.
This imposing rocky hill in the center of Athens consists of a complex of ancient temples.
The most well-known and most photographed is the Parthenon, which was dedicated to the ancient Greek Olympian goddess Athena. It was built with white marble between 447 and 432 B.C.
When visiting the Acropolis of Athens try to be as early as possible in the morning or just a couple of hours before doors close. It gets very crowded and in the summer extremely hot. Bare in mind that you will surely need almost a half-day (combined with the Acropolis museum) to wander around this significant monument and gaze at its panoramic views.
Booking a guided walking tour is recommended for a better understanding of the history and architecture of the Acropolis. Also, a guided tour gives skip-the-ticket-line access to the Acropolis which is a time-saver, absolutely necessary during high season.
