10The Acropolis of Athens — A timeless symbol of civilization
Few places in the world embody human achievement like the Acropolis of Athens. The Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike stand atop the rocky hill, offering panoramic views of Athens below.
Walking among the Doric columns and sculpted friezes, you can almost hear the debates of ancient philosophers and the footsteps of citizens who lived over two millennia ago. Today, the Acropolis hosts events, guided tours, and educational programs that keep the spirit of ancient Athens alive, while the surrounding Plaka neighborhood buzzes with cafés, artisan shops, and lively streets, connecting past and present.
