Athens

Athens is a city of rooftop evenings, with the Acropolis lit up above the tavernas of Plaka.

The hill has its own stories. When Aristophanes mocked Socrates in a comedy, Socrates is said to have stood up in the theatre so the audience could see who the joke was about. The statue of Victory in her temple on the Acropolis was made without wings, so she could never fly away from the city.

Trevlo's audio tour of the Acropolis and the Parthenon tells those stories as you climb. Start when you like and stop in the shade. Your first tour is free.
