High above Athens, on the Hill of the Muses, lies an ancient citadel - still standing strong. The Acropolis was many things throughout history: a home to kings, a citadel, a mythical home of the gods. In modern times, it’s a reminder of the rich history of architecture and Greek splendor. Make sure you budget plenty of time to explore this world-famous site, as well as the nearby Acropolis Museum.
