Next we visited the Acropolis (top of city) and saw the Parthenon which is dedicated to the goddess Athena. The legend is that Poseidon and Athena were given a contest to see who the city would be named after. Poseidon gave war horses and water while Athena gave the Olive tree of knowledge. The citizens liked the tree and named the city after her. We saw also the smaller temple dedicated to Poseidon. We then strolled through the small museum on site with findings from the excavations. We could see the ruins of the Temple of Zeus from the Acropolis. All that is left are 13 columns now. That afternoon, we waked around Athens and had a relaxing lunch at Piano Ristorante at Palia Vouli area. For dinner, we walked to the Monastiraki area and had dinner at a new restaurant that we found walking around.
