π¬π· 6 Days & 7 Nights in Athens: A "P-Type" Traveler's Guide
ποΈ Acropolis & Parthenon Just as online guides say: the climb is tough βοΈ, the steps are slippery, and itβs crowded. Major respect to those wearing white dresses for photos! π Pro tip: Book tickets for 18:00-19:00 β less crowded and cooler. Find a shady marble spot to sit and watch the sunset. π Random ancient ruins below the Parthenon β even a bird perched on a column! π¦ πΌοΈ Acropolis Museum General ticket: β¬20 Discount for under 25 (born after 2000): β¬10 (buy on-site). Collections are modest with many replicas β not comparable to the Louvre, but great for a quick historical warm-up before visiting the Acropolis. πΊ National Archaeological Museum Visited this on a whim after the Acropolis Museum left us wanting more! Ticket: β¬12 A no-frills display museum with ample exhibits (though lighting is basic). Highlights: A small replica of the original gold-and-ivory Athena statue from the Parthenon (the Acropolis Museum only has a 3D projection β boring!). Statue of Nemesis (perfect for Hades game fans π). Verdict: Worth the price! #Athens #Acropolis #Parthenon #GreekTravel #TravelGuide #HistoryLover πΊπβοΈ
