M and I flew into Athens. Despite being tired from our flight, we decided to venture out and see some sites.
We explored the Acropolis and enjoyed taking in the sights. Purchasing tickets in advance will help you avoid the lines at the ticket booth. We had to book a reservation time; we weren’t able to get in early prior to the reservation time (even though we tried).
The walk up to the Acropolis was steep however take your time and take in the views of the historic landmarks. This place is rich in history. There is a bathroom at the top close to olive trees where you walk down a flight of steps to get to the basement level (it’s not a long walk) but definitely comes in handy after all the walking.
Make sure to bring water if trekking up a warm day. We went in late September but the temps were in the upper 70s. There are vending machines to purchase water but you need to bring euros.
