Well, this time is Athens, the visit which i made back-to-back with my Santorini trip. Way back 800 - 146BC, Greece saw the rise of a new civilization that transformed the ancient world and its influence has lasted to the present day. You must have heard of Zeus, Sparta, Athens, the first olympic, democracy, Plato, Aristotle and Socrates, to name a few. Nowadays, the major site left to see the great civilzation is located on the Acropolis hill, where the Parthenon was built. Parthenon is the main structure on the Acropolis hill, which was the temple of Athena (greek goddes) and Treasury of Delian League. Apart from Parthenon, other ruins were the Theatre of Dionysos, Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike and Erechtheion. The ruins are now under major restoration and renovation work by the Greek government. Next to Acropolis, there is a museum that displays the sculptures and artifacts during the greek empire. For details, go Wiki guys ... enjoy the pics.
