2023: The main gateway to the Acropolis.
Most of the original pillars look intact.

WOW!! A great experience to be able to look at these buildings. And also totally free of charge. If you are under 25 years old and European, you can visit most museums for free.
The pillars that make up the entryway to the Acropolis are interesting in that their columns are connected with white sections. The columns are a great sight to see on the way into the Acropolis.
Nerve wracking experience with slippery and uneven stone/ marble pavement. Waiting to roll down the hill with false step and the crowd. The sight is breathtaking but definitely go before 8am
The sight is really nice to see, there are long queues to visit however.
There wasn’t any real descriptions or information boards nearby, which didn’t make it very interesting.
The shops nearby are a rip off I would recommend buying from elsewhere.

This is the most beautiful monument in the world!!! The sumbol of democracy, unparalleled aesthetics, undeniable beauty... When you are up there you literally feel like you are on the top of the world...
This is the main gate entrance for the Acropolis area and its slope. Spectacular bird-eye view of Athen from here.
We came early in the morning after they just opened at 8am and was able to watch the army team get down from the Acropolis too.

You've climbed the hill all the way to the top and you're dying of anticipation to enter the Acropolis. Here is this monumental entrance, one that you will remember for years to come. More steps to climb, way too many people making their way up, blocking access and not allowing you to take a decent photo, but it's all part of the experience. Take your time. If you don't live in Athens, how many times will you see the Acropolis? Propylaea is the best entrance to the complex. It might be the most difficult one to get to because of the steep climb uphill, but once you've set eyes on those monumental columns, you know that you've made the right decision to take the hard way up to the Acropolis.
