Other than the historic nature of this site, it doesn't have much going for it. If you want to see great ruins, try Cambodia, Mexico, Peru, etc. If you like broken columns and stones that leave a lot to the imagination, than I guess you...More

Full of history

Read up on the myths and legends associated with the area before you visit as we found this very helpful to what we were looking at. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain can be rocky

Must See

If you are in Athens you have to go here. The buildings themselves are awesome but the view is also an added bonus. Free with valid EU student card.

€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.
