The Acropolis in Athens is probably the most famous structure of ancient Greece. These unique buildings were built between 464 B.C. and 406 B.C. Built on a rock 156 meters high. The buildings include the Erechtheum, the Temple of Nike, the Propylaea and the Temple of the Parthenon, which is said to have housed a statue of the goddess Athena. In ancient times, an acropolis was usually a fortification located on the highest part of the city. The Acropolis of Athens also initially had a primarily defensive function.

Make sure to be well informed before you visit this historical place. Otherwise you won't grasp what the center of the antic Greece is about. Better book a guide.

And try to avoid the rush hours, it can get very crowded.

In the late afternoon it is not so hot anymore and the big tourist groups are gone too.
