    This is my favorite experience I've ever been to on a vacation. Loved the audio guide. The temples and ruins were so beautiful. I managed to kill 4.5 hours here. I'm also having bad jet lag, so I liked that I could go at my own pace. There were plenty of places to sit and rest. Highly recommend going here. It's a lot more manageable than the Acropolis which is also amazing but loud and overly crowded.

    An amazing and incredible experience, though the audio guide is a bit tricky to use—it’s not always clear where you are.
