The Acropolis:
 |
| "UNESCO calls it the symbol of World Heritage. The world calls it the Athenian Acropolis!" |
 |
| "Acropolis, the site of four of the greatest masterpieces of classical Greek art – the Parthenon, the Propylaea, the Erechtheum and the Temple of Athena Nike – can be seen as symbolizing the idea of world heritage” (UNESCO, 2006). |
Acropolis Information
The Changing of the Guards in Athens Greece:
Every Sunday morning at 11 am, people gather in Syntagma Square to watch the official changing of the guards, the military unit whose members stand proudly in perfect stillness in front of the Hellenic Parliament. There are of course changings every hour in the day, but on Sundays it is the official ceremony with the official customs.
