The Acropolis Slip and Slide
Quote: If ever there was a tourist trap that was hardest to get to, I think the Acropolis may win hands down. For the faintest travelers, you can take a cab to the base (but Acropolis taxis are more expensive than the regular ones), but even so, you’ve got... Read the full Acropolis review

The Acropolis
Quote: The Acropolis is located in Athens, Greece, high above the ancient city, although you can have trouble trying to find it...that is, if you are walking by foot. Out of all of the Plaka, Monstriki, and Syntagma squares, I saw maybe two signs leading... Read the full Acropolis review

Quote: It is hard to escape the "shadow" of the Acropolis. Pictures do not adequately capture the emotions and awe you experience when seeing the Acropolis up close or from the bottom of the hill. To maximize the experience, I'd recommend walking up to the... Read the full Acropolis review

The Acropolis
Quote: The Acropolis, or Sacred Hill, is the most important site in Greece. We could see it from our room and were very excited to step foot on it. The Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Nike, were dedicated to Athena Parthenos, Athena Polias,... Read the full Acropolis review

Quote: For 12 euros (6 for students), you can gain entry to any six of the ancient sites around central Athens, including the stunning ancient Acropolis. Unfortunately, at the moment there is scaffolding around the Parthenon, spoiling your photo, but not... Read the full Acropolis review

Quote: The Parthenon is a beautiful structure. It is smaller than I imagined, but still a marvel. Catch a glimpse of the rest of the city from high up on this hilltop.

Quote: I realise that this review is probably largely redundant. There would be very few visitors to Athens who would not intend to see the Acropolis for themselves. There would be even fewer who would be swayed one way or the other by a review of this... Read the full Acropolis review

Acropolis
Quote: If you have only time to do one thing in Athens, it has to be a pilgrimage to the Acropolis. Perched on one of the city's rocky hills, the Acropolis is supremely glorious and can be seen from many locations in the city. A big selling point for the... Read the full Acropolis review
