Greece’s National Archaeological Museum offers one of the world’s great collections of historical artifacts, including collections from the prehistoric and ancient eras.

The Acropolis of Athens is perhaps the essential centerpiece of Western civilization. It features the Parthenon, the remarkable Erechtheion, and the temple of Athena Nike.

This beautiful museum houses artifacts recovered from the Acropolis and walks you through the many temples created on the site of the Acropolis dating to prehistory.

Not much remains of this once-massive temple to Zeus, though the standing columns can still give you a sense of the temple’s scope.
