Best Historical place in Greece

A	Allayna Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Although this development is currently under construction, it is still an important stop when learning about the local history. Do research before going to insure site availability.
h	herm dig on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not a great deal to see apart from some very big columns that in Apr 2022 were undergoing restoration and were covered in scaffolding. If you have the combination ticket by all means go and see it. If not I would give it a miss. I was staying at the Athens Gate Hotel which from the 8th floor restaurant offers an impressive view of the whole site with the added advantage of coffee and a comfy chair.
J	Jonathan Puddle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I suggest visiting this temple before you visit anything else, as it will feel unimpressive if you see the Parthenon first. Another remarkable feat of architecture and engineering, with excavated village ruins around it. Not as individually impressive as other monuments, but must have been enormous in its day.
D	David Weatherley on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one of 7 archaeological sites which can be visited with a EUR 30 ticket over 5 days, and I recommend visiting all of them if you have time. However this site has less to see than the others - although this was the largest temple in Ancient Greece only a few of the original 106 columns are still there, and most of those that are are covered by scaffolding. Hadrian's Arch, built to honour the Roman Emperor who finished the temple after 700 years, is actually just outside the site and from there you can also see the remains inside.
A	Amanda Cooke on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you’ve got the 30 Euro ticket, go and see it. While under renovation, there isn’t much to see and it’s not the most impressive of the sites in Athens. Still really cool, and it will be great once it’s restored.
P	Paul Meagher on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What can I say! Obviously if you are into ancient Greek history a thrill. If you have an vague interest worth a visit. If neither go have a look from the outside. 8 euros per person entry. You decide !
K	Karen H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went here as recommended by our tour guide at the Acropolis as it is part of the entry ticket we bought. It is under renovation, which is amazing in the long run, but was a bummer for us as we couldn’t see much. You can see just a few columns but most are covered in scaffolding. It is a large area with some grass you can walk around.
M	Mohammad Assagaf on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ While it's the largest temple in Athens, the remains are scattered and with no clear historical tidbits. While we were there, half of the columns were under maintenance and cannot be seen. The place bears huge significance and there is great potential for it to be one of the top tourist destinations but requires some work which is still ongoing.
