Day 278: Athens: Acropolis and Parthenon

November 20, 2016

Today I got to see another of the bucket list items, the Parthenon inside the Acropolis.

Up on a rocky outcrop, which you have to walk up, is the ancient walled complex of the Acropolis. It was genuinely amazing. It is over 2500 years old, some buildings dating back over 4000years, and the view was almost as great! I spent about 2 hours in the small area.

One benefit of traveling in the "off season" is that not only is it less busy, but you also get cheap tickets too - only 10euro rather than 30!

I spent the afternoon finding a bus to my next destination, and planning my trip to the islands tomorrow, as well as being lost and eating more souvlakis.
