Magical experience

This was undoubtedly the best way to visit the top of the Acropolis. During our time in Athens, we visited the Acropolis, an Acropolis Museum tour, as well as the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Ancient Agora, and the Temple of Poseidon. A truly magical experience, especially if you’re a fan of Greek mythology.
