The Acropolis + Remnants of Ancient Greece

Use your imagination, Ancient Greece, founders of democracy and principles the world still cherishes today (well, some of it.) They sit on these very stones, expounding and theorizing; Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Zeus, and Apollo!
Remnants of this civilization remain, and you can visit the ancient stone structures, high up on the hill overlooking the rest of Athens. Down below you'll find the Acropolis Museum, and artifacts remaining millennia past.

what remains of the Parthenon- Temple to Athena. Note female warrior proetctor on left side


The Acropolis and her sister museum were undoubtably the best part of being in Athens. If you must go to city, head over there for a few hours and then Split- maybe to like Croatia. Hah.
