1. Acropolis Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 27 reviews
Modern, uptodate building on the foot of the Acropolis housing important ancient Greek statues and much more
Reviewed By MadeInLondon82 - London
Various people had said that I must see the Museum & honestly I was a bit underwhelmed. There are some spectacular exhibits to see, but unfortunately the majority of the quality works have been pillaged centuries ago. Obviously, The Parthenon Marbles are in The British Museum, along with many other pieces around the world that were stolen/given/bequeathed etc. from The Acropolis.
It's only €5, very reasonable. If you want to check it out there's some great works to see, but I wouldn't say that it's essential to visit in Athens.
2. Parthenon
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 12 reviews
The majestic ruins of an ancient Greek building, known for its dignified white marble columns and perfect sense of proportion.
Reviewed By Reslysten54 - Vienna, Virginia
Restaurations continue of this remarkable tempel, and scaffolding covers one of the short sides. Nevertheless, the impression is striking when you get up close and the magnitude of this building becomes obvious. Severely damaged by ear and vandalism, it remains majestic.
You can get an even better understanding of it's history by visiting the nearby Acropolis Museum.

Historic neighborhood located at the base of the hill topped by the Acropolis.

I’d say this is a good lace to go to when coming back from the Acropolis - you can either sit at a nice Terrace or go shopping. The streets are narrow with pretty historical buildings and the shops have a good offer of souvenirs, traditional produce, clothes and others.
5. Temple of Hephaestus
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3 reviews
This ancient Greek temple, located on the Acropolis and dedicated to Hephaistos, god of the forge, is one of the few temples to be almost entirely preserved.
Reviewed By Ruth K - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
As part of the Ancient Agora, this is not a temple to miss. It's in excellent condition and also provides some great views. Not to be missed.
