The elegant building known as the Erechtheion, on the north side of the sacred rock of the Acropolis, was erected in 421-406 BC as a replacement of an earlier temple dedicated to Athena Polias, the so-called ''Old temple''.You can also see the Karyatides, a pi-shaped structure with six female statues instead of columns to support the roof.

The Propylaia of the Athenian Acropolis were built on the west side of the hill, where the gate of the Mycenaean fortification once stood. The first propylon, or gate, was constructed in the age of Peisistratos (mid-sixth century BC), after the Acropolis had become a sanctuary dedicated to Athena.

The temple of Athena Nike stands at the southeast edge of the sacred rock atop a bastion, which in Mycenaean times protected the entrance to the Acropolis. The Classical temple, designed by architect Kallikrates and built in 426-421 BC, succeeded earlier temples also dedicated to Athena Nike. Several slabs and parts of the frieze can be seen in the Acropolis Museum; other parts of the frieze are in the British Museum.

Arts & Culture
In my opinion, Acropolis museum is the most beautiful museum in Greece. Built on 2007, has won lots of awards and has great exhibitions, a beautiful cafe and great restaurant. It is definitely a must even for people who don't like museums,as the architect of the building is really great. Also great for children. Its building is a modern one covered mostly with glass that allows the natural sunlight to lighten the statues and relieves of Acropolis and a constant view to the actual sit of the Acropolis.
We recommend starting on the 3rd floor with the video presentation on the history and structure of the Parthenon and then working your way down. Spectacular views of the Acropolis are available from the third floor.
