Erechtheion

The second largest temple on the Acropolis has a complex and unique structure, including its famous Porch of the Caraytis with statues of six graceful maidens on the south side and a four-pillared porch with six Ionic columns on the north side.

Reviewed By LDG2003 - Ponce, Caribbean

The Erechtheion is a building localized at the top of the Athen’s Acropolis , in which you will see the famous sculpted female figures in form of a column, also called caryatid.However, they are copies, the originals are at the Acropolis Museum.You have to pay the ticket of the Acropolis to see them.The best time to go there is very early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Between 10:00 am to 3:00 pm it used to be packed of tourists and the photos that you take will be full of them.The advantage of go early at am is the good temperature.... in the afternoon the advantage is the amazing sunset...you decide which one is better for you.

7. Temple of Athena Nike

Temple of Athena Nike

The earliest Ionic building on the Acropolis, this small temple of the goddess of victory depicts assemblies of the gods and Greek battles against the Barbarians and the Boeotians.

Reviewed By JLC-mtl2015 - Montreal, Canada

There are a few buildings/structures while atop of the Acropolis and this one is a little shy. Yes, because of its size and its location. Situated on the edge of the hill you are likely to be looking at your steps on your way up or down to access the gate and you may easily miss it. On your way up once you cross the gate you will probably be naturally attracted to the Pantheon just in front of you. As you circle it, you may forget to turn around to see the Temple of Athena Nike. When and if you take the time to look at it, it is clear that maintenance and conservation work has been done on the building. While it is small it looks solid with its beautiful golden white marble and four (4) columns on opposite sides of the temple, which all used to be a single piece stone columns. It says that at one point a wingless statue of Athena Nike was inside, symbol of victory in the hope that it will never leave the city. While on Acropolis site you can see the Theater of Dionysus, Odeon of Herodes Atticus Theater and on the Acropolis Hill, surrounding the Parthenon you can see the Temple of Athena Nike, the ruins of Propylaea and the Erechtheion. All this, for the price of 1 ticket. If you want tricks on how to skip the line see my review on the Acropolis.

Andrea Miaoulis Monument

Reviewed By G6426FManthonys - Brisbane, Australia

Worth a visit if only for the views of Hydra port and the town which extends up the hill. Best to visit in the morning with the sun to your left. In the afternoon you are looking into the sun. Just a couple of minutes walk from the ferry terminal.

10. Kaisariani΄s Shooting Range , Altar of Freedom
