beautiful - but not handicapped friendly

Excellent historical site - with constant restoration activities - very unfriendly for the disabled - lots of walking, uneven walking paths and plenty of steps - but for those up to the task, worth every step

Great ruin, great history. A fun place to view

shame we couldn't go inside the ruins. But there was a crane and restoration work happening. The view of Athens is great from here and it is hot so take water and comfortable shoes as it's uphill on uneven ground. Good for bird watching too.

A unique masterpiece of universal value for all times

To appreciate the sublime beauty of this incomparable edifice : one may, perhaps, visit without reading anything. Then visit again after some serious research of authoritative sources. There is so much to look at and at so many levels: architecture, politics, history, mathematics, philosophy, art........More

Main Building at the Acropolis

The Parthenon is the main building at the Acropolis. Restoration of the Parthenon is still ongoing with scaffolding visible. Entry is not allowed inside the Parthenon but you can walk around.

Center of earth and beginning of civilization

The aura and energy of the place is extraordinary. Try to have some time to relax and feel the energy, all the Ancient Greek spots like this (and Sounio near Athens) have good energy.

€20 or €30 for a combined ticket, where you can also visit Hadrian’s Library, Temple of Olympian Zeus, The Ancient Agora of Athens and a couple more. Hope this helps.
