Rute

1. The excavation site rests on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. In ancient Greek religion, it was considered the center of the world and the seat of Pythia, the major oracle. The Sacred Way leads visitors up the hill past the remains of the Athenian Treasury to the Temple of Apollo, where the oracle delivered prophecies. Further up the slope lies the ancient theater, which could seat 5000 spectators, and the stadium used for the Pythian Games. Below the main site is the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, famous for the Tholos, a circular structure with Doric columns.

About Athen

Athen rejser Akropolis over en vidtstrakt moderne hovedstad, hvor antikke ruiner, stræder i skråningerne og lange taverna-aftener ligger side om side.

Parthenon kroner Akropolis, flankeret af Erechtheion med sin veranda af karyatider, og Akropolismuseet ved bakkens fod viser skulpturer fundet på klippen. Rundt omkring gør Den Antikke Agora, Olympieion, Hadrians Port og det marmorklædte Panathinaiko-stadion den klassiske by let at gå gennem.
