10The Acropolis of Athens

The Acropolis is Greece’s most iconic landmark, towering above Athens with the Parthenon as its crown jewel. In summer, it’s filled with long queues and throngs of visitors. Off-season, you can explore the Sacred Rock with more freedom, marveling at structures like the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike in relative peace. The quieter atmosphere adds depth to the experience, allowing you to truly appreciate the ancient artistry and the sweeping views of Athens.
