"Overlooking Athens You can’t miss the Parthenon, the majestic ruin towering above Athens . Originally painted in vivid hues, this feat of architecture, engineering, and artistry is still as awe-inspiring as it was almost 2,500 years ago. Le Corbusier, pioneer of modernism, called it the most “ruthlessly flawless” monument in the world. Hold on to your admission ticket: It’s valid for several other archaeological sites on the slopes surrounding the Acropolis, including the Agora and theater of Dionysus."

If you can swing it, definitely try to go in the early morning or towards the afternoon. It’ll make the pictures taken there much better. Amazing to see the site so well preserved.

One of the great landmarks and examples of historical architecture in the world. Sadly much better suited to tour by the younger and fitter people as disabled facilities are limited. Go and see it whilst you can as it is extraordinary.

Absolutely stunning and an absolute must place to visit while you’re in Athens. I was a little hesitant because of the crowds, but we went at the end of the day just prior to closing and was definitely the best time to visit with a short line and small number of people. Views of the surrounding city and the structures located inside are amazing and cannot be justified with pictures..

Breathtaking view and history are here. I truly enjoyed my first visit in the beginning of November. It was not too crowded and the weather was nicely warm and I booked my bundle ticket for 16-17h. All the staffs are gentle and nice. I recommend you to go to the restroom before you tap your ticket.

Amazing, I loved every minute ther. Partenone is beautiful and the view is just great. In January the temperatures are around 16 degrees and you can still enjoy a nice day without to be warm. On top of this the place was not overcrowded

A reminder of the historic past of the region, and the cruelty endured by the local population under the occupation of the different invaders. Great views of the whole city, spectacular sights. Beware of the strong winds that blow at the top of the acropolis, and get ready for a good walk.

They have really worked hard to enable individuals with limited mobility to join others, and be able to view the Parthenon up close! Just be sure to bring your disability identification card & they'll allow you to use the elevator. Then, the paths at the top are well laid out. Amazing view of history.

Didn't get an up close view as it was crowded and short on time, but the area is nice and well preserved, some construction is in the works, but didn't take away from the main attraction...a must visit when in Athens.
