The Parthenon was absolutely georgous! It is definitely a must see how they built these huge buildings a long time ago. The detail of the pillars and the roof of these buildings were amazing. If you ever get a chance to go there, you must see these places.

The public transportation in Athens has a city bus that goes to all of the tourist attractions. It costs 5 euros which is for this hop-on/hop-off bus as well as regular city bus and metro service (excluding airport service). The tickets are available for purchase on the bus. We wished we would ha…
