Video of the Acropolis
When we went to see the Acropolis, we learned that not only the Parthenon is up there, but many other buildings including the Temple of Atheina and Nike, and the Erechtheion. Here's an overview of the Acropolis

Athens, Greece - Day 1
We went to see the Parthenon, which is on top of the Acropolis. It was really windy and sunny at the same time. We went on a tour of Athens, and we visited the stadium where the first ever Olympics were held! We also got to see the football (soccer) stadium where the Panathinaikos play. There are a total of three teams based in Athens, and all are rivals. My cousins and I asked a taxi driver if the rivalry is intense, and he said that it usually isn't that bad, but sometimes, it can get physical. He said it was like the New York Mets and the New York Yankees; some people have a strong dislike to them, and others don't really mind them.
Here is a website highlighting Athens:
