Acropolis Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Acropolis in Greece.
For more than 2500 years a landmark and symbol of one of the most influential European cultures, the Acropolis, has towered above the rooftops of Athens. It took nine years to build the great temple of the goddess Athene, known as The Parthenon, that was completed in 438 B.C. Unique among all other Greek temples, with its imposing appearance and artistic decoration, the Parthenon signified the great influence and power of ancient Athens. Just a few metres from the Athens Temple, the Acropolis Museum contains numerous outstanding archaeological treasures that have been discovered in this vicinity. The majority of the exhibits date back to the 5th and 6th centuries, a richly golden time in the culture of ancient Greece. Since 1878 the museum has exhibited several ancient sculptures of the Acropolis in addition to various well preserved sections of the Parthenon's magnificent frieze. Throughout the centuries the temples and buildings that are situated on Acropolis Rock have had an amazing influence on both artists and architects alike. The unique cultural value of these imposing ruins has once again become of vital significance in the home town of the Olympic Games. Thus, the ancient Acropolis will continue to be the 'Cradle of Occidental Culture' and will illuminate the night sky of Athens forever.

Santorini island is a top travel destination for a reason: the amazing scenery, the towns along the clifftop rim of the caldera, the architecture of the popular sugarcube towns (Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli and Oia where you will find the iconic whitewashed houses and blue domed churches, all real, not just a snapshot in a card postal), the beautiful villages (don’t miss Pyrgos and if you have time add Megalochori at your itinerary, we also checked Ekso Gonia and Mesaria), seaside towns of Kamari and Perissa (yes there are no sandy beaches but the east coast has the long Black beach and if you drive down to Akrotiri don’t miss the Red beach, ok no one goes to Santorini for the beaches of course but at least you have some alternatives to the pools), countless vineyards and wineries where you can try local wines, impressive historic sites (Akrotiri excavations are a must but also the ruins of Ancient Thera on the rock above Kamari).
And of course the famous sunset, most people go to Oia for this but have in mind many others will be there with you, if you have extra days try to see the sunset from many different spots or towns along the clifftop rim. The most romantic was down at the southern part of the island in front the lighthouse where only 10 other couple were there with us while the previous day more than 1000 were trying to get selfies in Oia…
This time we stayed at the east coast where you can admire the sunrise and not the sunset... but in the evening we were just visiting the west coast for the sunset ;)
But Santorini is the most expensive greek island. You can still save the bank with some planning, skip taxis and use local transport, book a room away from the caldera, eat some souvlaki and not only in glamourous restaurants, and use common sense (eg.buy the combo ticket for attractions which is 14e and includes Akrotiri, Ancient Thera and 4 museums while Akrotiri costs 12e on its own…)
Let’s be honest you need at last 2-3 full days… Have in mind it’s not a party island (use Mykonos for this) so big groups of friends may get bored after the second sunset :)
Last but not least I have to admit that we usually avoid the greek islands during high season, in Santorini 6000 people may arrived in one day because of the cruise ships, add to that the hordes that arrive with local ferries and you get the picture (chaotic, traffic on every road, packed parking lots, ridiculously expensive hotel rooms, bad service). That’s why we traveled there in May 2016, everyone was still calm and not rude, restaurants open but half empty (so service was good and friendly), hotel prices at 30-40% of the august prices, we never had problem with parking (Fira’s main street was jammed as usual) or anything else apart for the ferry strike that kept us there for two extra days (how nice to get trapped in paradise, no?) so we had 6 in total and still we didn’t get bored (although I’ve been there twice in the past) as we explored every possible corner :)
Travel time from Piraeus to Santorini usually takes 9 hours. This precious 9 hours gives you enough time to enjoy the immense blue Aegean Sea and bask on the picturesque view of the islands...
