🇬🇧⚔️🇬🇷The marbles are regarded as some of the finest sculptures ever created and the Parthenon, built by the democratic Athenians after victory over the Persian Empire, is arguably the most important monument in Europe. 📊 In an UK poll close to 60% were in favor of the artifacts returning to Greece - what do you think of this whole story? ———————————— #elginmarbles #britishmuseum #londontravel #parthenon #virtuosotraveladvisor #londontour

📌TWO WEEK GREECE ISLAND HOPPING ITINERARY 🇬🇷👇🏻 ATHENS - 2 NIGHTS Athens is the perfect base for your greek island hopping trip as you can get a ferry or fly to your all the islands from here. 📌MUST DO’S: Acropolis, Temple of Poseidon, National Museum, Parthenon. MILOS - 3 NIGHTS Jump on a ferry from Athens to Milos, a unique volcanic island with a laid back vibe. 📌MUST DO’S: Saraniko beach, Polyaigos boat trip, Firopotamos beach. PAROS - 3 nights A three hour ferry and you will arrive in Paros, slightly bigger and built up than Milos but equally as impressive with traditional Cycladic architecture and beaches. 📌MUST DO’S: Parikia, Naousa, famous house in Lefkes. SANTORINI - 3 NIGHTS Another 3 hour ferry and you will be in Santorini, no island hopping trip would be complete without this famous island. Oia is where you want to stay for the iconic view but if you want to save money I would do two nights in Fira and one in Oia. 📌MUST DO’S: sunset point, three blue domes, Santorini volcano day trip. FINAL 3 DAYS YOU HAVE A FEW OPTIONS 👇🏻 Mykonos - one of the most popular islands in Greece with more of a party scene. Naxos - if you enjoy hiking this is the best island for you, plus it is slightly more affordable! Ios - famous for its vivid nightlife and very close to Santorini making it an ideal last stop. Crete - the largest island in Greece and not far from Santorini, it is more affordable but still full of beautiful beaches & traditional Greek architecture. 🌞 WHEN TO VISIT - June - September is the best time to visit for good weather but it is the most busy, I travelled in May and it was a lot cheaper but we only had sun 1/2 of the time. Which Greek island would you like to visit most?👇🏻 #visitgreece #greekislands #santorini #mykonos #paros #milos #ios #crete #naxos #islandhopping #greekislandhopping #islandlife

The Parthenon in Athens is nothing short of a marvel, embodying the pinnacle of ancient Greek architecture and history. Perched majestically on the Acropolis, this iconic temple dedicated to the goddess Athena stands as a testament to classical grandeur and artistic brilliance. From the moment you lay eyes on the Parthenon, you’re struck by its imposing columns and intricate sculptural details, which reflect the artistry of the ancient Greeks. The sheer scale and precision of the structure are awe-inspiring, and it’s easy to imagine the reverence with which it was originally regarded. Standing among the ruins, you can almost feel the echoes of history and the weight of centuries of cultural significance. To make the most of your visit, consider joining an early morning tour. The early hours not only offer a cooler temperature, which is a blessing given Athens' often scorching heat, but also a quieter experience before the crowds arrive. This allows you to explore the site more comfortably and appreciate the Parthenon’s magnificence without the hustle and bustle. One essential tip is to wear sturdy, comfortable shoes. The pathways around the Parthenon can be uneven and rocky, so good footwear is crucial for navigating the terrain safely and comfortably. This will ensure that you can fully enjoy the historical and architectural wonders without any discomfort. Whether you’re marveling at the precision of the Doric columns, taking in the detailed friezes, or simply enjoying the panoramic views of Athens from the Acropolis, the Parthenon offers a deeply enriching experience. It’s a must-see for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the enduring legacy of ancient Greece.
