Popular Attraction: Greece- The Parthenon
There’s nothing wrong with the Parthenon itself. Our problem with it is that it always seems to be in a constant renovating process. You go expecting to see some sort of ancient wonder, but instead, you’re greeted by unattractive scaffolding.
Another thing to consider: Most of the sculptures from there are now housed in the British Museum. Another thing to remember is that the Parthenon, dedicated to Athena, the Greek goddess, was completed sometime back in 432 BC. So in recent times, efforts have been made to restore it.
What you’re really seeing is NOT from that far back. But if you can’t stand the thought of visiting Greece without seeing a temple, try the Temple of Poseidon instead.
It’s generally not jam-packed like the Parthenon is, but it’s just as stunning, thanks to its seaside location.
