UN-BELIEVABLE!

Incredible. The place reacks with history. The ENERGY is unbelievable. The main Parthenon temple, is one of the most incredible buildings ever constructed, both in trms of architecture and art. Modern world has a still a lot to learn from these people. Many steps, all around, so not for the faint-hearted, but look at it that way, at least you don't have to climb to the top, carrying heavy sheilds and spears like the ancient Greeks did it. There is also an elevator on the left-hand side and slightly to the back (as you are looking at the main entrance), that will easily bring you to the top, in case you are too tired, elderly, or mobility-challenged. Ask a guard, and you will be happily escorted to it. There is also the place where Apostle Paul first preached the word of Jesus in Europe, and a brass plaque embedded on the rock, that records the fact. Overall, a most amazing experience. Once-in-a-lifetime visit for me and my family. Miss it, and miss out! As far as I am concerned, when the new museum is built, we should return ALL those fucking marble artifacts we stole from them. This is where they belong, and unless one actually finds themselves up there, there's no other easy way one can understand that. Bravo!

If I had the chance I would have my wedding there!!!

This place was so wonderful, everything about it. You do have to wear the proper shoes because there are rocks that do tend to hurt if not careful. The air is so peaceful the sky is crystal blue, so it just makes it all the more wonderful!

An amazing place

Wow the acropolis was one cool place, i tell ya. The view up there is crazy cool. Also, the air is fresh and you can feel a sort of ancient presence around you while you are up there. I reccommend it to all you peeps out there.

Great Advice for Seeing the Acropolis

Athens is my favorite place on earth and the Acropolis just embodies the spirit of ancient Athens. It may be under construction, but with a little imagination and a decent enough tour guide, it can be an amazing experience. The view from up there is amazing and the museum is great. Try sitting on the Areopagus on a sunny day, looking down on the agora. Great pics and just a wonderful atmosphere. Also, for the best pictures of the Acropolis, go up Philopappou hill nearby.
