What a huge day!!! I did the whole touristy thing with the Brazillians! We went up to see the Acropolis, which was amazing just realizing that this was created thousands and thousands years ago, and its still going strong!
We took loads of photos, and since the Acropolis is located on top of a “mountain” you have this amazing view of the city of Athens. Because all you see is the cream buildings, and although on top the view of Athens looks so peaceful and calm, you know down below it is hectic!
The Acropolis is the most important ancient monument in the Western World. The Acropolis served as a place of fortress and place of worship. What makes it so amazing, is that the city has ultimately been built around the Acropolis. It is properly amazing!!
The Acropolis from ground level! It just looks over the city!

On the way to the Acropolis, on the right its the Temple of Athena Nike!
