Travel to Athens, it is a must ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

#travelgram Visiting Athens was an incredible experience! Walking through the ancient city felt like stepping into history. The highlight was, of course, the Acropolis. The entrance fee was โ‚ฌ20, but itโ€™s totally worth it for the views of the Parthenon and the whole city from the top! The climb is a bit steep, but the panoramic view of Athens is breathtaking. You can also visit the Acropolis Museum, which costs โ‚ฌ10, and itโ€™s full of fascinating artifacts from ancient Greece. Plaka, the old neighborhood just below the Acropolis, was another favorite spot. The narrow streets, charming tavernas, and lively vibe made it the perfect place for lunch. I had the best souvlaki there and loved wandering through the small shops. If youโ€™re into history, donโ€™t miss the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and for a bit of relaxation, head over to the National Gardens, right in the heart of the city. Athens is a perfect blend of ancient wonders and modern life. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ท #athensadventure #ancientgreece #acropolisviews #greekhistory #plakawanderings #souvlakiheaven
