About Parthenon

The Parthenon ranked one of the most viewed tourist spots, does not get its name easily. The architectural beauty created in 400 BC tells the story of the Ancient Gods and Heroes of Greek mythology. From Tombstones of the God Athena to marble sculptures of lions intricately carved down to last details, the Parthenon is best experienced with a tour guide. Visitors are transported to olden Greece, their stories and beliefs envelop everyone who goes there. The structure speaks of Greek superiority, and their advanced knowledge of math and construction come across in the structure of the building. For a peek into the ancient culture of Greece this is the best place to go.
