Why
the Acropolis
in Athens. Greece is special
The 2400-year-old Acropolis is the symbol of the ancient Greek civilization whose art, literature and zeal for democracy still influence our world today.
Acropolis
tips & insights
Best
time of day
If you're visiting Greece in the summer, I strongly recommend you arrive at the Acropolis when the gates open (8 a.m.) or in the late afternoon.
More
comfortable temperatures
The midday Athenian summer sun can be blistering hot.
Fewer
tourists
The Acropolis won't be crawling with two-legged ants (tourists).
Better
photos
There will be fewer tourists spoiling your shots. And the low-lying solar rays
will give your photographs vivid hues.
Parthenon
The stunning Parthenon (see top-right section of photo) is the star attraction of the Acropolis complex.
Best
viewpoint
of Athens
The Acropolis offers stunning views of Athens. One of the best viewpoints is near the Nike Temple.
