If you are going to Athens - the Parthenon is absolute must see for you there. Yes it is old (daaah), and yes it's getting renovated, but it doesn't really disturbs your admiring of ancient Greek architecture in any way. What definitely will disturb you - hundreds and hundreds of tourists walking around, so the best time to visit is... More

This building is the signature of Athens and has extraordinary historical significance, therefore it is definitely worth a visit. Having a guide adds a huge amount. With an understanding of the construction, history and impact this building has had on the city, the country and the surrounding countries, much more can be appreciated. It is definitely crowded, difficult to move... More

if you visit athens, dont forget to come and see this... still ancient site More

Nevertheless, visit and enjoy the history and achievements of the people that built these temples to their gods... More

The climb up the Acropolis to the Parthenon is more difficult than it appears from the bottom. There are many water stations to refill your bottle. The sun will wilt those without a hat. Go prepared if you want to stay and truly enjoy the Parthenon. More
