We had half a day in Athens before catching our connecting flight the next morning. The most famous site in Athens is undoubtedly Acropolis - the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of Democracy.
The Parthenon is an old temple that sits on the Acropolis of Athens and is primarily dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena. Built in 447 BC, the Parthenon is over 2,460 years old!
