On day 2 in Athens we started early in the morning in an attempt to beat the crowds to the amazing acropolis. We walked up the hill and went through the main gate which and we blown away right from the start.
The ancient theaters, ruins, building and huge granite columns were incredible. The sheer size of these buildings combined with the intricate details of the carvings really were something that blew our minds. The Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike, Erectheion and The Odeon of Herodes Atticus all stood up to their hype
After the acropolis we headed down to the Ancient Agora. This was another site with ruins, archeological finds and more great temples. The Temple of Hephaestus was very well preserved and was really impressive.
