The Acropolis, Athens

While you stroll through Athens, you will meet modernity, combined with Greek culture and fun-loving people in a pulsating but at the same time relaxed society that characterizes this country. If you look a little higher, over the horizon, you will discover a place that was truly created for the gods - the Acropolis. Once there, you should leave the bustling city behind you for a few hours to immerse yourself in an exciting story. In my article I will tell you what to expect when you visit this fascinating building, the symbol of Athens. Acropolis - not only in Athens Did you know that the name Acropolis is just a generic term and that there are several of these buildings? If you shake your head now, it doesn't matter, because most of them only think of the Acropolis in Athens. Acropolis in the original sense means something like castle hill, which once served as a fortification. For strategic reasons, this facility - as can be seen almost everywhere in the world - was built on the city hills, after all, from there you have the best view. On enemies, not on the landscape. We enjoy that today. An acropolis is like a citadel, also a fortress on the heights of a city, whereby the acropolis has developed more and more into a cultural site over time. Today, however, everything revolves around the famous landmark of the Greek capital, because numerous tourists make pilgrimages to the hill that characterizes the cityscape. For this reason, I also set out to take a closer look at the Place of the Gods, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
