Acropolis of Athens

One of the most extraordinary historical sites I’ve ever visited and an absolute must when in Athens. The Acropolis is home to the Parthenon and several ancient temples dating back almost 2,500 years, with beautiful views over the city. I highly recommend booking a guided tour, as understanding the history, architecture and Greek mythology behind the monuments makes the experience infinitely more interesting. If you’re visiting during summer, book an early morning slot to avoid the intense heat, as there’s very little shade. Wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as you’ll be walking on uneven and sometimes slippery stone surfaces.
