The Acropolis is about 4km2 in size and is surrounded by strong walls. The natural mountainous terrain allows people to climb the Acropolis only from the west. The east, south and north of the Highlands are cliffs and the terrain is very steep. The entrance to the ancient acropolis of Boule Puli is on the west side of the hill. This gate and the ladder to climb the hill are Roman-era buildings. Step up the right step, and the left side of the midway balcony can look out to the ancient Angolan ruins that extend south down the hill. There are also stairs leading from the balcony to the basement, which can be reached all the way down to the ancient well at the bottom of the Acropolis. The Propylaea is the true entrance to the Acropolis, with the Dorian and O'Aignan columns cleverly interspersed and majestic. The gate was previously made up of palaces on both sides, but now there are only five pillars left. The front gate of the Acropolis (Propylaea) was built in the fifth century AD to lead to the Acropolis Temple, which is divided into three parts: the north wing from left to right, the central building and the south wing. The central building has six large Dorian columns, five entrances and three Ionian columns on each side. The outside Dorian columns give a sense of majesty, while the inside is elegant and charming. The north wing building is more complete, and the room wall has a painting by the ancient famous painter Horikoletus, called Pinakothiki. The south wing seems to be in pairs with the north wing at first glance, but it is actually a colonnade building and is relatively small in scale.

The Pan-Greek Holy Land is a complex structure outside the politics of the city-state, the only way to provide self-knowledge to all Greeks in a religious sense, and the motto "know yourself" is said to be engraved on the entrance to the temple of Apollo. Apollo worship gained a high reputation between the mid-8th and mid-7th centuries BC as patron of the then-fierce colonial cause. In 373 BC, an earthquake severely damaged the Holy Land's buildings and played a decisive role in its fate. It was during the second half of the fourth century that the Holy Land was gradually declining as Greece experienced political turmoil, and since Roman rule in the first century AD no new buildings have emerged. In 392, Roman Emperor Theodosius I issued a decree banning paganism, marking the end of the Apollo cult. The site of the Holy Land was occupied by a village in early AD and rediscovered in the 15th century. The operation of the shrine has undergone many changes in history, according to Prutak, one of the most authoritative witnesses, who was once a priest of the temple, and there was only one female prophet in the temple during his time (1st century AD), who was asked once a month; Earlier, the ritual was in full swing, requiring three priestesses to take turns to cope with the long line of requests. In another temple in Apollo, the oracle was only passed on through thought to the prophet's spirit, which made him/her likely to play more freely. In Christian times, Chrysostom believed that Pitia was a woman possessed by the devil, drilling into the prophecy woman from the depths of the strata beneath the tripod. Every year, when Apollo leaves, there is naturally no shrine, which causes countless believers to wait when the shrine reopens every year. So the priests of the temple have the right to arrange priority for the ceremony (Προμαντεία / promanteia). Participants first offered a proper gift to God, then the priest poured cold water on a goat, and if it did not shudder, it would not be considered an ominous sign; If the worshiper is accepted, the goat will be offered, and he can enter the temple to ask the female prophet a question, of course, whether the question is answered depends on God's will.

Kinsaw's Turtle Island is a beautiful island, and it is named after the turtles that lay their eggs during the year. But due to some damage to the environment, few turtles are laying eggs here now. But there is a returnee rescue center on the island, which houses many injured turtles, so you may wish to visit.

Concorde Square is located in the center of Athens and is an important transportation hub. The famous Women's Street and Plaka Old Town are nearby. It is said that the security in this area of Concorde Square is a bit messy, but we feel OK. Of course, we have to be careful in all aspects of ourselves when we go out. We went to Athens in September 15, just in time for the early Greek election, and various activities and journalists interviewed in Concorde Square were very lively.
