Athens Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen
The first glimpse of the Parthenon still amazes viewers even after 2,500 years. The Acropolis, meaning "high city" in Greek, sits high atop a rocky hill in Athens. Crowned by the Parthenon, it is the city's main draw for visitors, but the sprawling city offers plenty of other options for families as well.
