Parthenon

The climb finished, we saw the Parthenon and the other buildings, once a bustling center of the city and now a memorial crowded with an international set of visitors. Cranes stood at attention in many locations on the Saturday we spent in Athens, and the view of these ancient structures was a fitting capstone to our three and a half weeks in Europe and Asia.

The Upward Trail

The climb up to the top of the Acropolis is quite a workout, well worth the effort. Here we see some sights on the upward climb, which is on a winding partially hard surfaced staircase and trail.
