Parthenon

Despite the scaffolding and enormous crane, this is a site you can't miss in Athens. Enjoy the climb up the hill and admire the beauty.

Gorgeous! Get there early as the tours start arriving around 9am (it opens at 8am). The side entrance (near the museum ) is much less busy than the main entrance.

The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena.Its construction began in 447 BCIt is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece.

What can you say but Wow! Beautiful architecture and history. Get there early to beat the heat and the crowds. Buy tickets ahead of time to skip the lines . Great vistas from everywhere.

Beautiful ancient Greek architecture . Some construction and renovation is still going on. So difficult to take proper photo without anything at the background. Number 1 must-see tourist attraction .

Worth going at sunset - it feels a lot cooler up there at that time of day in the summer and it's truly wonderful to watch the sun sink down over Athens from this view point.

As an Egyptian, these sites tend to be not so impressive. Bit of a hike , but a must see. Gorgeous views .

One of Western civilisation's most important sites lives up to its reputation! Awe-inspiring architecture , stunning views and the centre-piece of a wonderful city !

this place is amazing, worth visiting. With just one ticket you visit all the monuments .

Save a min of 2 hours 4 this sight. U need 2 b ready wz appropriate shoes as lots of areas are slippery & u will walk up & down z entire visit. Great view from top so be ready for loads of selfies.

Absolutely immense experience to go up the Acropolis to see this. Get there 20mins before opening to be at the start of the queue and to get a few minutes there without any people

Visit at the end of the day, it is less crowded and you can get amazing pics without people. During winter time ticket is half price.

There’s a lot to see here both on top of and around the acropolis. You’ll need to double back a few times but be sure to see it all. Watch you’re step! Very uneven terrain - wear decent shoes !

Marble can get very slick, the hike up is not as bad as it seems, scaffolding has been up forever, check out museum next door, don't try to walk the old mine cart tracks down!

Completed in 438BC and dedicated to the goddess Athena . Used primarily as a treasury. Was converted to a Christian church in the 6th century AD.

It’s an important world heritage place full of history. I recommend you go in the very first hours in the morning (6am) to avoid crowds.

Amazing ancient Greek monument with amazing views all over the city !

Beautiful sights, great view of the city , you can practically touch the history

Simply amazing !! Greek Architecture at its finest !!!No other structure will ever compare to the Parthenon !!!!

Magnificent monument , once glorious, and gorgeous view of the city .

For wheelchair users: You will struggle a bit to get to the entrance (the ramp is quite steep) but once you get in, there is a platform / elevator so that you can get to the top of the Acropolis.

Athena's Temple , this is a beautiful landmark . It is free for students and it has a wonderful view . The structure itself is amazing and you feel like and ancient Greek . Also, very spiritual.

It is an architectural masterpiece the importance of which can only be understood when you stand in front of it hearing its construction history and secrets. Read more

Take water and go to the toilet at the ticket office area - no facilities once you’re through the entrance barriers. Signage explaining Greek myth is poor (instead lots about restoration works)

N°1 place to visit in Athens. The view from the hill is amazing and the whole historical site is stunning.

Dedicated by the Athenians to Athena is a magnificent creation of the Athenian democracy. Built between 447 and 438 BC.

Really beautiful. Advise, arrive at the start at 8 a.m because after, there is a lot of people, even in October !

Don’t miss to visit Parthenon. Enjoy Athens Greece Tours Transfers by locals. https://loukas-taxi-private-tours-photography.business.site/website/loukas-taxi-private-tours-photography/?hl=el

So much history involved! Skip Tuesday, go early in the morning, get the free app Rick Steves audio guide and be happy!

I highly recommend seeing these rocks that are deliberately piled on top of a very large rock. They resemble very old buildings !

During the weekends it's close from 3 PM. Be careful and plan your visit considering this ;) From Monday to Friday it's open from 8 AM to 8 PM.

Get there in the afternoon to avoid long ticket queues and very crowded site as morning are very popularThe ascent is not that hard and for tired people there are benches in tree shadows everywhere

spectacular. bring some water if you don’t want to get shafted for a sugary slush puppy thing.

Best time to visit is an early morning.

Was a nice place. Go early or the people start piling up. It is a little windy

Non-European kids are charged for entrance. Europeans cannot even stand equality among children!

Bask in the reaffirmed knowledge of how insignificant your life is by comparison.

This is what you came for, right?

Europe's iconic landmark . It's more than a site, it's a state of mind. A must see before you die.

Go up and up to the top it’s awesome! We had a tour guide and her stories made it even better!

Awesome historical place!

Parhenon, one of the most famous buildings of the ancient world! Must visit!!!!

Impression site although under renovation. Worth the visit

The combined ticket is worth it!

This is a must see place when you are in Athens!

Try to visit early morning to avoid sun diseases

Worth the climb - fabulous!!
