Acropolis of Athens
For a fabulous glimpse of the city's rich history on your trip to Athens, head to the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This hill overlooks the Greek capital and is home to some historical treasures that should not be missed during your vacation in Athens in mainland Greece. In the program? Visit the Parthenon, the centerpiece of the Acropolis with classical ancient Greek architecture, and discover the Erechtheion, adorned with statues of the Caryatids and composed of several shrines dedicated to Athena, Zeus and Poseidon. You can also stroll around the Agora, the city’s former center of public life, at the foot of the Acropolis.
