Hello everyone! I hope you are well! we stayed 2 days in Athens and of course one of the places that we couldn't miss while we were there is the Acropolis, besides there really aren't many places to visit in Athens, but now my recommendation before going to the Acropolis is go with enough energy to climb up there. Pawel and I just had a delicious lunch, so we hit the ground running.
En el camino hasta el acrópolis empiezas a ver las ruinas y lo primero que vimos la Puerta de Atenea Arqueguetis (la foto de abajo) y para poder entrar allí tienes que pagar algunos euros. Nosotros decidimos no entrar y solo hacer fotos desde afuera pues más adelante pagaríamos para entrar al Acrópolis.
On the way to the acropolis you start to see the ruins and the first thing we saw was the Puerta de Atenea Arqueguetis (the photo below) and to be able to enter there you have to pay some euros. We decided not to enter and only take photos from the outside because later we would pay to enter the Acropolis.
También ves a muchos turistas caminando hacia allí, pues todos quieren ver el Acrópolis y entonces los íbamos siguiendo aunque no es difícil llegar, también ventas de algunas cosas y además algún restaurante antes de subir al Acrópolis con comida deliciosa lo cual me parecía excelente, lo malo es que el sol estaba un poco fuerte pero bueno, podíamos soportarlo.
You also see many tourists walking there, because they all want to see the Acropolis and so we followed them although it is not difficult to get there, also sales of some things and also a restaurant before going up to the Acropolis with delicious food which seemed excellent to me, what bad is that the sun was a bit strong but hey, we could handle it.
Lo primero que vimos fue estás escaleras para subir y ver toda la increíble ciudad, y para eso no tenías que pagar, algunas personas se sentaban allí un rato pero nosotros solo vimos un poco, e hicimos una foto y luego seguimos el camino para subir al Acrópolis.
The first thing we saw was these stairs to go up and see the whole amazing city, and for that you didn't have to pay, some people sat there for a while but we only saw a little, and took a picture and then we followed the path to go up to the Acropolis.
Llegamos a la entrada pero necesitábamos unos boletos, así que fuimos hasta la taquilla de pago para comprarlos, el precio es de 20 euros por cada uno, aunque si eres menor de edad o incluso menor de 25 años pagas menos. No tuve suerte porque justo la semana pasada cumplí mis 26 años jaja.
We arrived at the entrance but we needed some tickets, so we went to the ticket office to buy them, the price is 20 euros for each one, although if you are underage or even under 25 you pay less. I was unlucky because just last week I turned 26 haha.
Now we could go in, and before doing so I recommend you go to the bathroom that is right next to the entrance, because you are going to walk there a lot and climb some stairs and you will not want to do it with much desire to go to the bathroom and there is not one upstairs. So, well, now I'll just let you see the spectacular photos I took of the ruins and the ancient buildings that we saw up there and that are full of a lot of history, like the spectacular Parthenon.
Terminamos el recorrido y buscamos la salida para regresar a casa. Sin duda alguna fue espectacular entrar allí, y ver todo esto tan lleno de historia que nos sorprendió y seguramente a todos los que van allí también, espero que les haya gustado tanto como a nosotros, y nos vemos en un próximo post. Saludos!
We finish the tour and look for the exit to return home. Without a doubt, it was spectacular to enter there, and see all this so full of history that surprised us and surely everyone who goes there too, I hope you liked it as much as we did, and see you in a future post. Cheers!
