National Archaeological Museum

Feeling the pulse of history beneath my feet, I wandered through Athens, a city where ancient marvels meet modern charm. Here's a snapshot of the must-see attractions! 🏺 Acropolis of Athens Athens 105 58, Greece A timeless beacon of civilization, the Acropolis stands tall, its marbled structures like the Parthenon offering a window into ancient Greece. Ascend early to catch the sun casting a golden hue over the ruins. It's a history buff's paradise, and yes, it's as breathtaking as they say! 📸✨ 🖼️ Acropolis Museum Dionysiou Areopagitou 15, Athina 117 42, Greece Step inside to cool off and journey back in time. With three floors of artifacts, including some real treasures, the museum is a trove of Greek artistry. Don't miss the best photo spots overlooking the Acropolis, or grab a bite at the café (with purchase). Pro tip: on-site tickets can be cheaper than online! 🎟️🏛️ 🗿 Parthenon Athens 105 58, Greece The grandeur of the Parthenon is a sight to behold. This temple, dedicated to the goddess Athena, is an architectural masterpiece. Opt for a guided tour to uncover the rich tales of Greek mythology and enjoy the cooler evenings. And keep an eye out for the adorable Acropolis cats! 🐱🌅 🏺 National Archaeological Museum 28is Oktovriou 44, Athina 106 82, Greece Despite some exhibits being under maintenance, the museum's treasures like the Mask of Agamemnon still impress. Dive into the depths of Greek history and marvel at the ancient artifacts. For a focused visit, prioritize the key exhibits. 🏺👀 🛍️ Plaka Athens Greece Get lost in the labyrinthine streets of Plaka, Athens' historical neighborhood. Known as "the neighborhood of the Gods," it's a perfect blend of culture, cuisine, and shopping. From Kostas' gyros to the street-side cafes, Plaka offers a taste of Greek life at its most authentic. 🍽️🛍️ Athens left me in awe with its enduring legacy and vibrant street life. It's a city that truly wears its history with pride, and I can't wait to return! #Athens #AthensAttractions #Greece #GreeceTravel

The best gift is companionship, this is the second travel note with parents. This time the scale is larger, not only with my own parents, but also with my girlfriend (nickname Little Aunt, my old travel partner) and her parents. The whole trip cost less than CNY13000 per person, this time I can finally keep accounts myself. Actually, when booking the tickets, I never thought that winter in Greece is a rainy season. I was absent-minded, thinking isn't this the southern part of Europe? After booking, I found out it's a rainy season, but since we're here, we might as well enjoy it. There are ways to enjoy the off-season. In the end, I was under the halo of the little sun, feeling the sunshine of Santorini and Athens. This article recommends excellent shooting points in Santorini and detailed locations, as well as Greek bloody myths and interspersed Athens attractions. I'll write slowly, you read slowly. Thanks to mom and dad, they cooperated all the way, worthy of always following me on free trips. Thanks to Little Aunt, after all, she is an old partner, a super good travel partner. Thanks to Dad Lu, following the old master, I learned a little more about photography. Thanks to Mom Lu, the main chef, the mashed potatoes are top-notch. Santorini's winter also has sunny days Santorini's sunset and sunrise Ia is beautiful no matter how you shoot it National Geographic magazine's shooting location Six people walking Mom and dad watching the sea at Perissa Beach, the same action as last time in Taiwan Wine tasting at the Santorini winery And the real people on the island, the ubiquitous Meow Star people Poseidon's Temple in Sounion, another good sunset Two groups of mom and dad together National Archaeological Museum of Athens, definitely worth a day's visit Recommended photo spots in Santorini (detailed location) The biggest advantage of traveling in winter is that there are fewer people, but the disadvantage is that the weather is cold and rainy, but this time I was lucky. In Santorini, for a total of four whole days, only the afternoon of the arrival day was rainy. The rest of the weather was not bad, one of which was a completely sunny day. Santorini under the blue sky and Santorini on a cloudy day are not the same place at all. As long as there is sun, Santorini is a place where you can take beautiful pictures at will. The good photo spots are basically concentrated in Oia, in addition to the blue dome church in Firostefani that became popular because of National Geographic magazine. In fact, there are many large and small blue dome churches on Santorini. Sunset viewing platform Oia on Santorini is definitely the best place to watch the sunset. Recommend two places for sunrise Byzantine Castle Ruins GPS:36.460110,25.372734 This is the viewing platform very close to our homestay (the accommodation will be talked about later), not only the sunset is beautiful, but the sunrise is also highly recommended. But it is recommended to live next to this, otherwise you have to catch the last bus in winter, and there is no hope for watching the sunrise in the morning The sunrise, sunset and scenery shot from the perspective of the viewing platform The castle seen from the cafe, the location is really good On the castle A photographer who is dressed strangely early in the morning (it's really cold in the morning and evening) Oia’s sunset Oia's sunset (there is no specific building, refer to GPS for specific location) GPS:36.461819,25.375311 The sunset here can be shot with three blue domes as the background. This place is relatively close to the bus station in Oia. This place itself is also a good place for portrait shooting. It's a pity that the weather was not good that day. Peter North broke in behind a few days during the day and went again, a dog with a super sense of lens, the last day to watch the sunrise also came to get close to me
