Our first look at the Parthenon as we approach the Acropolis. You can see the scaffolding and cranes that are being used as part of the latest restoration project.
These are the ruins of the old Roman Agora (marketplace) located below the Arcropolis
The Odeion of Herodes. This is apparently still used as an outdoor amphitheater since there was a ballet troupe practicing on the stage while we were there.
