Simply a must do when in Athens the Parthenon is a truely wonderful reminder of a time long past. Always under some kind of restoration, look past the scaffolding and see the true beauty of this monstrous monument. Then go to one of the roof top bars in Monastiraki Square (perhaps MS Roof Garden) after 6pm to see it at sunset and with its night lights on, spectacular.

When you think about Athens or the Acropolis, the Parthenon is one of the first images that comes to mind. Standing right in front of it and learning the history of this structure is quite amazing. The Parthenon is, without a doubt, the crown jewel of both Athens and the Acropolis.

Simply amazing place to visit, the history surrounding Parthenon is staggering, temple has remarkably stood the test of time for us to get a glimpse of how roman lived all the centuries ago. With Parthenon located on a hill you also get unsurpassed 360 degree views of Athens city and surrounding area, Detail of the ruins is really good and well maintained by archeologists, you can still see symbols and artwork from original construction. As you could imagine site gets extremely busy so I would highly recommend pre booking your tickets and be at gates before opening.

Recommend getting there early because it’s very busy! It’s truly an unbelievable experience and it’s worth every minute waiting in line. To see such a magnificent structure up close is remarkable. Fantastic views of the coast and all of Athens.

hallucinating monument, emblem of greece which has been here for millennia. I felt like I was in a dream when I saw the columns of the temple. I imagined the statutes put in place at the time and the people who came to pray 2000 years ago. Impressive

The Parthenon reigns supreme as the Acropolis' star attraction. Its sheer beauty is awe-inspiring, and it's mind-boggling to think it stands over 2,500 years old. Our guided tour delved deep into its history and architecture, making it a highly informative experience. For all ancient history enthusiasts, a visit to the Parthenon is an absolute must

As expected, a very busy site to see. Definitely recommend seeing it during just before and during sunset if possible, absolutely breath-taking. We were able to see the Parthenon from our hotel rooftop, but seeing it up close was amazing. Definitely worth seeing. Such rich culture and history surrounds this site. If it's the first time you're going, I suggest going with a tour so you can learn and understand the understated history that they share with you.

Amazing to such an incredible part of history. Worth the visit, but be prepared to wait in very long lines just to enter. You must book your tickets ahead (we did it online). Even with tickets bought ahead, you still wait in very long lines to get in and it’s slow moving on the hike up. Crowded and hard to move around sometimes there are so many people.

It gave me the chills to see it for the first time. It is in such a state of disrepair that you want to cry, but it is still one of the most magnificent buildings in the world, up close, or from afar. We see the Parthenon in pictures from a very early age, and it is probably the most recognizable building in the world. To see it in person is simply amazing.

I used to think that this is Acropolis and now I know Parthenon is an old temple , that sits on Acropolis which is the high hill in Athens. This is still a significant must go place if you come to Athens. The queue is long and once you are inside, crowds are everywhere and you have to find good angles to capture the majestic structure which is now an archaeological site and ruins. Restoration work, scaffolding is in process so I find it not as impressive when looking at it during daytime with the crowds. Probably night scenes of it looked better, but still, is a must go else you never have been to Athens.
