General Info

The Acropolis in Athens is one of the most famous sights in the world. There are many other places throughout Greece that are similar to the Acropolis, but this one has the most significance of any other Acropolis in the country. This is a European Cultural Heritage site and is seen by millions of visitors to Athens each year.

The building itself is a flat topped rock that rises above sea level (490 feet) in Athens. It can also be known by the name of Cecropia, the first Athenian king. While the place features many ancient ruins, there are still festivals and celebrations held here annually. If you come to visit the Acropolis, you will also be able to see the Temple of Athena Nike, where a bronze statue of the goddess used to stand at the center. The New Acropolis Museum which is about 400 meters from the old museum, is now the home of many valuable artifacts found here.

Hotels throughout Athens will be able to provide you with a spectacular view of the Acropolis. This is one of the most picturesque cities in the world with its ancient ruins, so wherever you go in Athens, you will see the Acropolis in the distance.
