点评:Acropolis is still probably the most important place to visit in Athens from the point of history of civilization. it is also great that on the way up one can see also two amphitheaters (including the first ever dramatic theater) and the Mars Hill (Apostle Paul's sermons, remember?) But the negative reviews on TA make it clear that, in terms of safety and service, Acropolis is very disorganized.
I doubt that Greeks will change their ways ; )) so the solution is to come there prepared and self-reliant: you need to have water bottles, watch for pickpockets and learn in advance all the details, from its history (that's why you are coming, right?) to the ticket prices and entrance points. I took one star off because for one elderly member of my family it turned out to be impossible to walk on stones so much all the way up, and when the box office and security staff saw we left her at the entrance, they did not even mention to us that there was an elevator for handicapped people (we did not see any signs either). That's a really poor service!
Parthenon itself could be a little disappointing because not only it is completely hollowed-out inside and has no roof, but also a modern construction equipment is installed inside. And you should not miss seeing the very first caryatids (on another building) - they ARE beautiful and gracious!
Lack of material evidence is compensated by excellent bird-views of Athens, so the photos will be great!
翻译:从文明史的角度来看,卫城或许仍然是雅典最重要的景点。更棒的是,在登山途中还能看到两座圆形剧场(其中一座是史上第一座戏剧剧院)和战神山(还记得使徒保罗曾在此布道吗?)。但TripAdvisor上的负面评价清楚地表明,卫城在安全和服务方面非常混乱。
我怀疑希腊人会改变他们的习惯;))所以,解决办法是做好充分准备,独立出行:你需要带上水,注意防范扒手,并提前了解所有细节,从它的历史(这才是你来的目的,对吧?)到门票价格和入口。我扣了一颗星,因为我家一位年长的亲戚实在走不动,一路都是石板路,而且我们把她留在入口处时,售票处和保安人员竟然都没告诉我们有残疾人电梯(我们也没看到任何标识)。这服务也太差劲了!
帕特农神庙本身可能会让人有点失望,因为它不仅内部完全掏空,没有屋顶,而且里面还安装了现代化的建筑设备。不过,你千万别错过最早的女像柱(在另一座建筑上)——它们真是美丽优雅!
虽然缺乏实物遗迹,但从这里可以俯瞰雅典全景,拍出来的照片肯定很棒!
