Janet Neubecker 01 Jul 2022Get tickets in the first 10 rows
No Bar. Get tickets in the first 10 rows or be prepared for knee-jarring mountain climbing. Beautiful setting but smashes in 6000 people!

georgia 29 Mar 2022Over and beyond us
Acres and statues, and also, columns, of a distant era towards the skies of the future. the major citadel of Athletes, gods, and rhythms. for centuries, it stands over, the city of Athens. the well-known acropolis, with the debris, and the liberty sculpts, feminine figures, and austere geometry. though the are no intact signs, if we do exist, at the same time, of our past ancestors, throughout the future. strolls aren't ready made, you ll need a company/ a good weather or none of the above. you may have to offer yourself the view, of exquisite sub-temples and the suburbs of west/east/north/south dominion. a map that is Greek, uses, a hypo-text of symbols, usually with colored, petty images, and numbers of the population and other statuses. thanks to modern societal norms, flags of other countries, and stats might be also found..

vasilikiang 24 Sep 2010Great sense of walking in the airAn impressive museum just opposite the Acropolis. The most impressive feature is that the whole museum has been built above some ancient findings. The yard is made of glass and visitors can actually walk on this glass floor and see the findings beneath. The absolute sense of walking in the air!
The interior has three floors and lots interesting exhibits. My favourite was the second floor with the gorgeous and so detailed statues. The third floor hosts the frieze of Parthenon (with copies of the missing parts that are hosted in the British Museum) but it was not as impressive as I expected. Videos were playing in various corners with the history of the Parthenon, the building of the museum, some excavations.
A great thing to do is to have a coffee at the terrace of the museum with view to the Acropolis, but seats are few and visitors are many, so you might seat only if you are lucky enough...
The only bad thing: the exhibits were not efficiently labeled and explained for foreigners. I am Greek and I understand some archaeological terms, but a foreigner might not, so it would be good to explain the exhibit in more words.
