Within its ruined walls, lies the ruins of numerous temples, including the Parthenon—dedicated to the goddess Athena, the alleged protector of Athens and has served as a place of shelter and defence since at least 6 BC. Visitors to the Acropolis can enjoy the amazing view of the city of Athens, as well as explore the historical site and a museum of artefacts found on the site.
Delphi
Located near the legendary Mt. Parnassus, the mythical home of Pan and the nymphs, the ruins of Delphi hold immense historical significance.
