Save to your city mapThe famous Acropolis is the most beautiful sight in Athens. Situated atop a 156 meter high hill, the ancient ruins provide spectacular views over the modern city of Athens, and as far as the Aegean Sea. "Acropolis' was actually the name given to the first settlement on the site of Athens between 2000 and 1200 B.C., but is generally taken as the name for the remains, including the temple that sit on the flat rock. Important buildings that form the Acropolis include the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, the temple of Athena Nike, the altar of Athena, the Theater of Dionysus Eleuthereus, and the Propylaia. Dive into history and discover the remains of the beginnings of Athens! The site is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
