Temple of Athena Nike (solo trip)

One of the smaller buildings within the Acropolis, but nevertheless beautiful and standing proudly high above the gate. You cannot get that close or go inside, but good views can be had from the steps. It is also visible from many places in Athens due to its prominent position on the edge of the Acropolis.

The most famous of the acropolises is the Acropolis of Athens, which is today an archaeological reserve with a museum and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beautiful temple located at the Acropolis. The restoration is beautiful. To see the originals of the caryatids (or 5 of 6) you need to go to the Acropolis Museum (1 of 6 is still located at the British Museum still unfortunately).

Slippery. Really slippery surface. From the parking lot, it’s an easy but uphill walk. Got a little congested with visitors at the top, but the ruins are magnificent to experience in person and well worth the effort. Just exercise every caution walking on the slick marble path up&down. Minimal shade, bring water.

Beautiful small temple close to the gate of the Acropolis. You cannot get super close but you can see how well this temple is preserved and the marble looks almost intact. Getting close you need to walk some stairs, not the most friendly for wheelchairs.
