★★★★★ Perfect for Beating the Crowds and Exploring!This 5-day combo ticket was 100% worth it and so convenient bought on Trip.com. Skipped the huge ticket line at the Acropolis and just scanned my phone – amazing!The ticket gets you into all the major ancient sites: the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, Roman Forum, and others. We spent day 1 at the Acropolis (go early!), and then used the other days to explore the other ruins at our own pace whenever we walked by. It saved us money and the hassle of buying individual tickets each time.The Acropolis itself is breathtaking, but can be crowded and hot – wear good shoes! Having 5 days meant we didn't have to rush. Highly recommend this ticket.
The Acropolis is worth a visit. It is the greatest immortal work of ancient Greece and a world cultural heritage. It carries a heavy historical culture and can make tourists feel the vicissitudes of the millennium and the glory of ancient Greek civilization. - Parthenon: The core building of the Acropolis, built in the 5th century BC, is a prominent representation of ancient Greek architectural art. It adopts the Dorian column and has a unique modified design, such as the use of the column expansion outline, to make the temple both solemn and dynamic. The temple also features beautifully decorated sculptures surrounding Athena, adding to the architecture. - The Temple of Iriktion: unique architectural style, complementing the Parthenon. The six female statues in the south colonnade are perfect examples of architectural sculptures around the world, and these statues are not only beautifully shaped, but also bear the load-bearing function, showing the superb skills of ancient Greek craftsmen. - Athena Victory Temple: built to commemorate Athens' victory in the Persian War, the Nikki is a symbol of victory. Although the statue of the goddess no longer exists, the temple is in a great location, a good place to take pictures, and people can feel the courage and confidence of the ancient Greek people. - Great view: The Acropolis is located high in the hills, overlooking the entire city of Athens, with the Areopagos rocks to the west, the observation deck to the east and the wall to the south of the Parthenon all offering a very wide view.

We experienced a comfortable tour for 3 days on the beautiful island. We drove to a lot of scenery. It was very easy to rent a car or scooter. Then you can go anywhere more convenient. Finally It was very unforgettable journey ☺️
I took a “Blue Star Ferries” from Athens to Santorini, which was a smooth and scenic journey lasting about 8 hours. The ride was comfortable, and it offered beautiful views of the Aegean Sea as we made our way to the island. Pro tips! use your student card and you will get 50% discount! thanks me later 😘

Mount Lycabettus is also a very beautiful place. The structure of the entire mountain top is quite unique. You can also see a lot of facilities here. The fun content on the top of the mountain is also diverse and uniquely structured.
⛰There is a small earthen hill opposite the Acropolis, with an altitude of more than 270 meters, which is the highest point in Athens. The mountain is called Lycabettus Mountain, and it also has a grand abbreviation, "Wolf Mountain". Climbing this mountain, you can have a panoramic view of Athens. However, many people have already overlooked the whole view of Athens from the observation deck of the Acropolis. Perhaps this is the reason why most tourists have given up the idea of going to the Wolf Mountain Observation Deck, and this is why I strongly recommend it. The observation deck of Wolf Mountain is much cuter than the Acropolis Observation Deck. There is no crowding, and you don't need to wait for the couples in front to get tired of standing before vacating the position in front of the railing. And most importantly: it provides an unbeatable night view, while the Acropolis closes at 7 pm.
🚶🏻♂️The route to Langshan is very simple. Take the subway to the nearest station to Langshan, and walk along the uphill street for 20 minutes to the cable car at Aristipou Street at the foot of the mountain. The street is very quiet, the road is clean and tidy, and because it is uphill all the way, looking forward has a sense of déjà vu in the dreamland of Inception. When you arrive at the cable car station, the cable car going up the mountain passes through a cave and reaches the top of the mountain in 5 minutes. The round-trip ticket is 7 euros.
🌅The scenery of Langshan is really beautiful. Looking into the distance is the Sea of Aegean Sea, which almost made me forget that Athens is also a coastal city. When we first went up the mountain, the sky was still blue, and the sunset had not yet set. We could see the city view of Athens and the sea in the distance. When the sun sets, the setting sun is behind the distant mountains. Even if you can't see the sun, the rosy sunset still covers the city of Athens with a warm golden glow. You can lean on the railing quietly, watching the city slowly light up, looking at this vast land blessed by the gods in the age of the gods, and sighing that the Aegean Sea is still there, and the Crete Island is still there, but the once glorious Greek civilization here is no longer there. Only the protruding stone pillars and dilapidated walls on the Acropolis of Athens silently tell everything that happened here.
