Advantages: Food, views, rooms Disadvantages: Full of Yanks, expensive
An expensive hotel, although included in some package deals more cheaply. It is a real
luxury, with views to the Acropolis (5 minutes away), and only a 10 minute walk to Plaka, the main
eating and tourist district. A shuttle service runs to Syntagma Square, bringing you right into the
centre of town without the short walk.
The hotel itself has air-conditioning, a medium sized swimming pool with sunbeds and spacious
marble seating areas. The rooms are quite large, with satellite TV (CNN, Eurosport) and the usual
freebie soaps in the bathroom. Breakfast is huge, a buffet both cooked and plain, with hash browns
plainly catering for the copious Americans who stay here during a tour. The hotel is nice, but
not really worth its prices. It is much cheaper from tour operators, who get a reasonable price. ...
Advantages: Stunning, Awe inspiring and beautiful Disadvantages: Scaffolding
The Acropolis or "Sacred Rock" of Athens stands high above the city. On it are built many beautiful and frankly amazing structures. For a construction dating back to 450 B.C. the precision and architecture are something that should be seen by everyone.
You enter the acropolis through the Propylaea which is the gateway to the acropolis. It is an incredible structure.
There are three main temples on the Acropolis. The main one is the Parthenon. The parthenon is dedicated to Athena Parthenos, the patron goddess of athens. It is an immense structure and is vast and beautiful. Sculptures can still be seen on the corners of the roof. Just an amazing building considering it was built in 15 years, back in 447 B.C. Unfortunately, the parthenon was used by the Turks as an ammunition dump, and the venetians blew the roof off it. So its ...
Advantages: Classical and sacred monuments Disadvantages: Crowds, scaffolding, heat
No visit to Athens would be complete without a trip to the Acropolis. Often referred to as the Sacred Rock, three impressive temples stand upon the site. Tourists flock to the site; all eager to experience the magnificence spectacle that crowns the city. Unfortunately, this is the first impression that struck us as we arrived; a hustling, bustling, noisy crowd. Our enthusiasm was somewhat dampened. Tour guides unceremoniously greet you, eager to take your money (approximately 40 euros) in return for an historic oration on each of the monuments. We succumbed to a white suited English tour guide and were led with others towards the ramp leading upwards, my husband, complaining bitterly that when he visited last in the late 60s, you could wander up to the Acropolis freely and quietly.
The Acropolis is basically a limestone and red schist ...
