Athens, GreeceThe prime-city view hundreds of feet up from Athens’ Acropolis is something to behold on its own, but it’s nothing compared to the UNESCO World Heritage Site you see when you turn around. The ancient remains date back centuries… before Christ. Here, the Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike and other remains are at once incredibly humbling, yet intriguing. Much of the site's history is known, much is presumed and portions of Greek mythology lie somewhere in between. Not only has the Acropolis’ construction stood the test of time, so have the views.
