A splendid religious complex, the Acropolis consists of several temples, which were built by the world's first democracy during the 5th century BC. The most majestic building of all is the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. The Parthenon became the paragon of classical Greek architecture, and has suffered serious damage over the years. A small museum features an outstanding collection of ancient Greek sculptures.

Amazing view and takes you back in time
By Sejal, 01/08/08
The view from the Acropolis was amazing. We enjoyed our hike from site to site. All the things learned in elementary school made more sense as we saw the remains of them. I would suggest a good pair of walking shoes as most of the remains are in a large vecinity. The only way there is by foot.

Its magic.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/07
I love walking the Acropolis in the scorching sunlight, but I also love wandering the ruins on a fullmoonlit night (when open on special occasions.) The place still has a good vibe, after thousands of years and as many wars... Check it out for yourself and try meditating or you can pray where St.Paul prayed its a good trip! D.D.

Historic visit with little walking
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/18/07
Gotta love being on the Acropolis with the Parthenon and the other historic places in the same area such as Ancient Agora, Mars Hill where the Apostle Paul spoke from and the Dionysus Theater. Plan on spending the entire day at this one location. Well worth it. Figure out the trains that take you to within a few hundred yards of the Acropolis and you are set. Only draw back was the Parthenon and a few other ruins were being worked on, which means that for the next few years (according to the work schedule), your photos of the Parthenon will have scaffolding and crane type equipment in them.

We felt the atmosphere of the ancient people.

I like the feeling for the reason that many,many years ago people walked on this places. I dislike the slipped ground under my leggs. But how can do the manegement of the Partenon?I don t know.

can't wait to return!
By L, 01/05/07
I fell in love with every place I went in Greece. The people, the sites, the food, and the history were amazing! Sitting in the Plaka in Athens and sipping a glass of wine with the lights shining brightly on the Acropolis will remain a fantastic memory for the rest of my life. If ever there is a chance; I want to return and stay longer in Delphi, Athens and Hydra.
