You step into a polished Mercedes as the city wakes: marble streets warm under midday sun, the Aegean light slanting across ruined columns. Your driver eases through narrow neighborhoods, dropping you at the Acropolis base; the Parthenon looms above, history carved in weathered Pentelic marble. Lycabettus Hill watches over the skyline like a calm guardian, while the Acropolis Museum collects the fragments that made this city famous.
