Amazing that this is still here after all this time. Walking through the ruins and seeing all of the architectural details combined with an awesome view of the city. We truly enjoyed this timeless treasure.

It was very warm- which meant it wasn’t crowded. Don’t go behind the ropes, don’t touch allow the world to enjoy this historic site up close and personal. Even with scaffolding in areas the Parthenon was very accesible visually.

It is magnificent and grand.

But it is out in the sun.

If you are going in summer, be careful of the heat and people - tins of them.

Now, don't let this discourage you, you should go either in the morning or afternoon but if you want to learn absolutely everything there is to learn about this place then you should visit the museum. It is the perfect place to learn all about Parthenon.

The view of Athens from the top of Acropolis is beautiful.

Greece as we know is the epicenter of all the major events in the history of europe and this place makes u feel the same. The ruins still has so much life in it that it oozes the history out. This place goes restoration from time to time and may hamper the photographic experience. Rest once in a lifetime experience with beautiful view of Athens city.
