I love this ancient ruin a top the Acropolis. The women are beautiful and important. It was crowded when we hiked up and we should have followed the guide books instructions and gone at 8:00 am especially given it was a heat wave in Athens...More

Women had their own temple which is still standing despite the Parthenon having been destroyed by the Venetian bombarding. It's a trek to the top of the Acropolis but worth it.

It was wonderful to actually see the caryatids in place, although I do believe these are replicas. Some of the originals are inside the Acropolis Museum, to protect them from the elements. I think some are still at the British Museum.

This is one of the four temples on the Rock of the Acropolis, the others being the Temple to Athena Nike, the Propylaea and the Parthenon. A beautiful temple, the Erechtheion was dedicated to two gods, Athena and Poseidon; it seems those ancient Greeks liked...More

The statues are next to Parthenon, you will love them at first sight although these are replicas. The originals are ones are found on Acropolis museum. Despite the massive crowds, please find time to photograph these beauties.

Fab fab fab - love it so much every time I go. But beware the statues are replicas! Despite the crowds it has a real authenticity about it. Because it's the real thing and hasn't been converted into a theme park!

Consider this part of the acropolis tour. The very place where you will find a wild olive tree, the statues that are so famous are just cooies. The real ones are to be found in the acropolis museum. Breathtaking!

Next to the Parthenon these ruins are very small but no less impressive. It has a very interesting history and plays an important part in Greek mythology. The sculptures of the ladies are impressive and very neat to see.

Liked the statues but this place was already so crowded with tourists. Walk around and down as well. Just in front of the parthenon.

Yep. You must visit the Caryatids. I know you will if you are on the Acropolis. Don't miss it. The "Ladies" are magnificent. We never knew so many fabulous structures existed on the Acropolis but they do.
