Acropolis and Museum

It was amazing to be here in this historic place. The museum was so interesting and I loved the Acropolis and of course the Parthenon was the absolute highlight.

Numismatic Museum

A fasctinating journey through the lineage of coins etc. We just finished watching the old BBC series 'Connections' and armed with that knowledge it was amazing to see all the coins and things.

National Archaeological Museum

For me, it's a toss up between Cairo's Egyptian Museum and this one for the best museum of ancient artefacts. I love the sculptures, frescoes and all the small details that really help to make Athenian life come alive.

Acropolis

I couldn't wait to see this, I was so excited, and I have to say it lived up to my expectations. I can't believe it's so well preserved for something so old! What a fantastic holiday experience.

Byzantine Museum

The building itself makes a great first impression, with neoclassical stylings offering a great canvas for the journey through the Byzantine age. The mosaics were a personal highlight, as well as the jewellery.
