In the sixth episode of Season 1 of Dream of Europe, we visit capital Greece — Athens. Watch the full episode on YouTube (still also available on PBS) and subscribe to the Dream of Europe YouTube Channel! So how to visit the Acropolis in Athens Greece?

The Acropolis of Athens sits at the heart of Western history, drawing millions of visitors each year. Perched high above the city, this ancient citadel is home to archaeological icons like the Parthenon and the Erechtheion, with its famous Caryatid columns (often called the “Temple of Maidens”). Kathy’s favorite way to experience the ruins is to explore just before sunset, wearing sturdy shoes to navigate the well-worn, often slippery stones, and take in the breathtaking views of “Golden Hour.” Be sure to check seasonal entry times, as they vary.
