Lonely Planet review for Acropolis

The magnificent Acropolis defines and dominates Athens. Unlike other cities where the main attractions are on the outskirts of town, the sacred rock on which the ancient Greek temples were built rises spectacularly above the centre of the city. The main entrance is from Dionysiou Areopagitou near the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, or from Theorias if you’re coming from Plaka (there’s another entrance near the Kanellopoulos Museum). Large bags must be left at the main entrance cloakroom.

    lives up to the hype

    like the Eiffel Tower or the Grand Canyon, you have to wonder if the Acropolis will stack up against its reputation. it does. everything's already been said about this place, so i'll just add don't think twice, just go, it's awesome.
