I made it up to the Acropolis today. It's a serious hike to get up there, but it was amazing. Here's the Beule Gate, it was the first entrance to the Acropolis:

This is the Propylaia, the main entrance to the Acropolis:

The Erechtheion, with the Porch of the Caryatids (the statues of women used as columns) and an Olive tree growing where Athena first planted her tree in a competition against Poseidon:

And of course the Parthenon. Amazing!
Amazing.
