Acropolis of Athens, Athens

Great place to tour filled with history. It is better when you have done your research about the site but in case you didn't you can always hire a guide at the entrance. We decided not to hire a guide because we had read up on the place but the little we heard from the guides next to us was neat. The ticket includes other ancient sites as well so make this is your first stop to avoid paying twice for the other sites.

Now that I actually visited the place I can truly say that the Acropolis truly deserves its statue as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is simply stunning to see how impressive and massive the work of people who lived many years ago is. In case you are vising it in the summer I highly recommend that you try to get there early in the morning right before opening time. On the one hand you will skip the huge crowds of tourist and on the other you will not be standing on top of a rock in the middle of an extremely hot day.

Phenomenal, everything about my trip up the parthenon was fascinating. The history behind it all was so interesting, when I got to the big marble steps near the top it really gave me a feeling of grandiose and I could picture how the great philosophers of there day felt. Then when you get to the top the view is just breathtaking. I would advise booking a guide or just as good go to the acropolis museum first and find out about the fascinating history behind it.

Upon a good bicycle tour we hit that place. We cannot always bike. So we made something good in terms of culture. All over are food places. We enjoyed the good Local food and drinks. Nice environment. Recommended for real Greek lovers. Staff is friendly and helpful. Worse to go!

Great views, amazing history. But near everything here (statues etc) is a replica. They've housed it all in the museum down hill. Still worth a visit. Make sure you get an audio tour, or a guided tour. You won't regret it.
