While the Parthenon is indeed impressive, my favorite structure on the Acropolis was the Porch of the Karyatids, sometimes... Read the full Acropolis and Parthenon (General) review

Quote: The Acropolis is probably one of the best (and only?) reasons to visit Athens. Although the monuments on top are beautiful, most are under construction to be renovated. Aside from the various scaffolding, the Acropolis is easily a full day trip.
