    Our tour of the acropolis and museum was fantastic. We learned so much and it was so worth it having a guide to teach us things and help us navigate the giant historical landmark. Our tour guide, Angela, was amazing and had so many interesting facts about the history of Athens, its people, and Greek mythology. Big shout out to her for giving us a fantastic tour!

    Awesome but as a tourist who Carrie's coins on them for the bathroom. Lol in this day of cashless transactions it's as antiquated as the ruins

    Dedicated to the chief of the mighty Olympian Gods, the Temple of Olympian Zeus was envisaged to be the greatest temple in the ancient world at the onset of its construction in the 6th century BC. However, the world did not see the structure in all its glory till the construction was completed around 638 years later by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. With 104 towering columns and two colossal statues (one of Zeus and one of Hadrian himself), the temple was the largest in the country.

    Alas, its days of glory were short-lived. In the 3rd century AD, the temple was pillaged by barbarians. After this, it fell into disuse and was possibly never repaired. Even as a ruin, the temple is a sight to behold, and is one of Athens' most important archaeological sites. Explore the site at your own pace, as you try to envision how magnificent the temple would have been with all its columns and statues.
