"Walked up from the centre of Athens. An expensive hill - 20 Euro to get in. I unsuccessfully argued that they should give me a discount until it was repaired. But actually not sure it should be. The renovation works meant some of the Parthenon was obscured and you could see it from inside, which would have been impressive. Great views though. Lots of tourists, so probably the busiest hill I have ever visited." — vygodski • Jun 30, 2023
"Hot day to ascend to the Acropolis of Athens, we went up stopping to see the Theater of Dionysus and the Odeon of Herod looking for the shade of some olive trees. Near the main access stairway to the Acropolis we find that many people have thought the same as us and we wait in a long queue that moves forward with some agility. The marble that we step on is polished due to the footsteps of millions of people who climb this mountain every year, so care must be taken. The hat is essential because there is no shadow at the top except the one projected by the Parthenon.
Incredible and beautiful this place." — franciscobirruezo • Sep 29, 2022
