The Acropolis, at the center of Athens, is quite simply amazing. My family visited Athens as part of our big Greece/Turkey/Italy trip in the summer of 1998. Athens was pretty much our home base, so we had a fair amount of time to explore the city, and the Acropolis in particular. The temples are beautiful; I especially liked the Temple of Athena. It's a bit of a hike to the top to the Acropolis, but once up there, you can see all of Athens. From the roof of our hotel, on which we at a few dinners, we had a perfect view of the Acropolis and the Agora below. Athens is a must-see, and I'd definitely like to go back. Since that trip, I've taken classes in Greek archeology, so I think I'd understand and appreciate everything much more than I did when I was 18.
