You can\u2019t miss The Acropolis when in Athens. We were even lucky enough to have a nice view on what probably is the most famous building in Greece from the window of our hotel room. A visit to Athens without a visit to the Acropolis would have been unthinkable for me. So, like hundreds of other visitors, we made our way to this historic place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
High above the city on a limestone rock over 150 meters high, the Acropolis sits on top of it all. Standing up here and looking down on the city, it is obvious why the Greeks erected the building here. You can see incredibly far! At first, the Acropolis was castle of the kings and a cultic place, later it served as the seat of the patron saint of the city. Easy for the inhabitants to develop the feeling of being watched over by the patron saint like this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
