Well wonderful!! In February it is highly recommended to visit Athens. No queues at the entrance and in any case no excessive crowds at the archaeological site. Recommended time at 8 in the morning, when the ticket office opens. History does the rest...

Athena, the Goddess of Greece ! This wonderful monument and one of the ancient wonders of the world was dedicated to Goddess Athena. Stunning beauty, 24 hours a day and great looks of it durung the day and night. Words are not enough to explain, but just vist there .

Nice place to walk down the history lanes of Greek. Look back at the ingenuity, craftsman ship, masonry, history, heritage and a lot these structures reflect even today. Much in the process of restoration otherwise a dull city of Athens

Although the front is currently covered in scaffolding, this ancient and renowned temple is still a thing of beauty. Visitors are able to walk around all sides and admire the structure. There are also information boards about the history of it

The Parthenon is a steep hill; it towers over the city of Athens. The best-known and attractive feature is the ancient Acropolis, one of the world's best-known temples. The brilliant structure venerates Athena, who was patron goddess of the Attican city state. The construction on the Parthenon occurred around 400 BC. A number of structures can be seen, which are not as well-known as the temple but are interesting. Getting to the Parthenon and Acropolis is convenient; the steep approach is worth the effort.

Fantastic for a spring break 5 day trip. Amazing food, nice and friendly local people,. Lots of great historic sites to see, no crowds in March, nice weather.

Amazing to see, highlight of my trip to Athens. I didn’t want to leave the Acropolis area! Perfect weather and not too busy. Got a ticket straight away (8.30am) and went in. Amazing views at the top.

Although not named as one by them, this magnificent testimony to the ancient world and it's vast reaching impact deserves a spot on this list. Stunningly situated on it's outcrop, the monument is imposing even against the backdrop of modern Athens. With a historical legacy that cannot be underestimated, the experience is certainly improved on a guided tour, where you are given a window into the fascinating history behind it, and how it's architecture and the beliefs and inventions creators have impacted the entire world in the mellenia since it's construction.

Part of the Acropolis complex, the largest and most iconic structure there. It is splendid from afar when lit up at night. Find a restaurant with a view; you won't be able to look away. There will be huge crowds when you visit up close.

If you want to enjoy the Parthenon without the crowds we would recommend getting there right when it opens at 8:30 am. When we went in March the tour groups started showing up at 9 am and when we left the Acropolis site at 11 am the place was getting a little too crowded for us. The Parthenon is the biggest temple at the Acropolis and is very cool and worthwhile seeing in real life. There are a number of items that have been removed by the British almost two centuries ago and you can see the real ones at the British Museum in London and there are replicas at the nearby Acropolis Museum. They are doing restoration work at the Parthenon but we felt it didn't take away from the experience at all. Entry for the Acropolis includes the Parthenon and a number of temples at the Acropolis. In low season the cost to enter is 10 euros and it is 20 in high season. There is also a combo ticket so you can go see other sites outside the Acropolis but we didn't feel it was worth it because the other sites close around 3 pm and we didn't want to be rushed. We would recommend bringing good shoes to walk around, a water bottle because there isn't a place to fill up when we went, use the bathroom before entering and put on some sunscreen because it is very exposed up there. We would say 2-3 hours in the area is perfect.
