Don’t forget to stop and see the beautiful Temple of Athena Nike that was built to honor wisdom and victory. Then, you’ll reach the highlight — the Parthenon. You will remember it for a life standing in front of this amazing building. The ancient Athens glory and the power of goddess Athena are symbolized by it. The Erechtheion is the last thing to see in Acropolis Athens, with its unusual shape as well as six Caryatids who support it and are essentially elegant Greek statues. Throughout your journey, your expert guide will share fascinating stories and fun facts that bring the spirit of ancient times to life.
