Attica Daily excursions nearby Athens. The Acropolis and the Parthenon (Athens center)...
... Athen's supreme symbol, the outcropping of rock called the Acropolis, crowned with the Athena's sacred temple, the Parthenon. For thousands of years the Acropolis has been the symbol of Athens, the sacred rock, the link that connects the magnificent ancient civilization with the modern. The Acropolis and its monuments, its history and the myths that are connected with it, are rightly the pride and the glory of this city, the envy of all other cities in the world. These is no Greek or foreign visitor who does not want to make the pilgrimage to the sacred rock and absorb its magnificence and beauty. If you have never been to the Acropolis, I assure you it is a unique and memorable experience. It looks great all day, but visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds.
