On our second day in Athens we explored the Acropolis. You can't help but be drawn to this hill and having dinner facing it the previous evening truly inspired us.

This is the view from the primary entrance from the street.

The Temple of Athena Nike.

Lucia at the Propylaia (the "new" entrance built in 437-432 BC).

Approaching the Parthenon.

 

 

 

The yard at the ruins includes Ionic, and Corinthian colums.
