The Acropolis of Athens is one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, and visiting it feels like stepping directly into the heart of ancient civilization. It’s not just a collection of ruins—it’s a powerful symbol of classical Greece, democracy, philosophy, and architectural brilliance.

We experienced a comfortable tour for 3 days on the beautiful island. We drove to a lot of scenery. It was very easy to rent a car or scooter. Then you can go anywhere more convenient. Finally It was very unforgettable journey ☺️

This is a 6 in Greece, Athens.If you have the time I suggest and highly recommend for you to visit this place. This museum is worth visiting and spending money on. Tip: Book early in the day as queues can be long in summer months! Expect to spend at least 1/2 a day in the museum.

As evening falls in Santorini, tourists have already found their vantage points, sitting or standing quietly, waiting. The once bustling paths gradually empty out, the crowds converging on the cliff edge, becoming the first fixed scene before sunset. Standing on the steps of the blue and white houses, watching the sunset transform the sky from orange-pink to golden-red, then slowly into a golden hue, the town itself seems draped in a golden veil, so beautiful it makes you forget everything. Finally, the entire sunset glow sinks into the Aegean Sea, even the surface is covered with shimmering gold, the wind carries the light scent of sea salt and olive trees, there is no noise, only the sound of the waves lapping the shore, slowing down along with the light and shadow.

Theater of Herodes Atticus and Caryatids and Parthenon However, the Caryatids in the Acropolis are not authentic. The authentic ones are in the nearby Acropolis Museum and... the British Museum Like most Greek temples, this temple was also used as a treasury. 1. It was built in 447 BC to replace the old Parthenon (destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC). 2. For a while, it was the treasury of the Delian League (which later evolved into the Athenian Empire). 3. In the 6th century AD, the Parthenon was converted into a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary (the original Athena was also a virgin). 4. In the early 1460s, after being conquered by the Ottoman Turks, it was used as a mosque. 5. It was used as a gunpowder magazine by the Turkish army in 1687 and was unfortunately severely damaged in an explosion. 6. By 1800, only half of the Parthenon statues survived. After obtaining approval from the Ottoman government, British Ambassador Sir Elgin began to transport half of the surviving statues back to Britain at his own expense starting in 1801, and they began to be exhibited in the British Museum in 1817.

Although it is a site under restoration, you can still feel the weight of history. The ticket inspector did not immediately recognize the admission voucher. He looked at it for a long time and asked why there was no price displayed. We explained and finally got in.

Since the 5th century AD, monks have come to the mountains to practice. After hundreds and thousands of years of unremitting efforts, there were more than 20 monasteries in Meteora. With the hardships of the years, only six remain.

This is a must-see event of the change of guards every morning at 8 am. This is really a spectacular galore of the past & that is most exciting to foreign visitors. It's normally packed with bus loads of tourists and foreigners alike, so be ready for crowds, all trying to capture the best photo and video angle of the 'guards' change. The guards in full ancient military costumes are really mesmerising!

I was completely attracted by "Descendants of the Sun 🌞". Shipwreck Bay, located in Zakynthos, Greece, is known as the paradise island. In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis ran aground here while transporting cigarettes, so it was named "Shipwreck Bay". Tips: The best viewing time is from 11 am to 2 pm on the cliff of the observation deck. When looking for angles to take pictures here, be sure to pay attention to safety!
