The article is good, but the photo isn’ t of Acropolis but of the Poseidon Temple at Cape Sunion, some 70 kilometres from Athens. The tample has a great view at the Aegean and there is the site where the (mythological) Aegeas, father of Theseus, fell in the see which took his name (I hope the myth of Theseus is Known).
Another great archaeological site in Athens is the Thesion and the Ancient Market, just down the Acropolis. Thesion is the most intact ancient temple in Greece.

When I visit Athens I love staying in the Plaka area: it’s close to everything and has great views of the Acropolis and a great feel to it. As mentioned in the article, the National Archaeological Museum of Athens is a must see destination.

This is a really interesting article, especially the way it comes at the city from a specific angle. I’m not very interested in archaeology but if I’m in Athens any time I will be sure to check these places out
