About Parthenon in Athens

The Parthenon is the crown jewel of the Acropolis of Athens and a testament to the prosperity of ancient Athens. Dedicated to Goddess Athena after whom the city is named, Parthenon has been the centre of the history of this city and has seen countless battles and owners staking claim to this magnificent monument built on top of the rock mountain in Athens. Completed in 438 BC, the Parthenon architecture is a Peripteral Octastyle Doric temple with Ionic architectural features. The Parthenon temple is said to be built on the site of the older Athenian temple destroyed by the Persians in 480 BC. The Parthenon has seen countless events of history, and from being used a treasury, the temple was later converted to a Christian church dedicated to Virgin Mary in the last decade of the 6th century. The Parthenon was later converted into a mosque by the invading Ottomans. It was during this time that the siege of the city by Venetian forces and bombardment lead to igniting the gunpowder stored here and heavily damaging the monument and its sculptures.

The Parthenon has become a widely recognized monument and a national heritage of Greece and a representative of its glorious history as the leader of ancient civilizations. The name of the temple itself means ‘the apartments of an unmarried woman’ and holds the highest vantage point in the city of Athens. The building has cultural significance for the western civilizations and the Greek history for it symbolizes their victory over the Persians. The Parthenon just like the whole of Acropolis itself was commissioned by the Statesman Pericles, and the temple housed a gold and ivory statue of Athena.

Being a solo traveller, all the above mentioned facts matter to me very much. So thank you so much and looking forward for another trip.

    Ramkicrn's 7 days trip to Athens

    Took a week long family trip to Greece planned by Ishita and executed by Ishan from MTP vacations. Overall great experience. Pros: Ishita from sales side was quite flexible in tailoring our trip to Greece and accommodated most of my inputs towards locations, length of stay, hotels etc., Quote g
    iven was quite competitive compared to peers. Ishan from operations side stayed on top of our itinerary throughout our stay providing pickup co-ordinates, driver and stay details. Got us upgraded to better travel modes as needed to ensure our schedules won't go astray, made us positively surprised and appreciated. Was available on phone, chat through the stay to ensure our travel experience is not compromised. Cons/Improvement areas: Minor discomforts were to wait for end of the day to know exact details of next day's plans.. Though nothing went off-track majorly, couple of schedule changes were done (of course for a better experience), but weren't communicated till late. While we were able to take it in our stride and play along, might not be the case for others . Both the above are more for ppl who don't like surprises in schedules, especially bit older travelers. Sales team were able to accommodate my asks on locations, however would be great if they are forthcoming with such family friendly options for uninitiated travelers. But Overall lovely family vacation enabled by MTP team!! Keep up the good work...

Vishal - Thanks a lot for arranging this wonderful trip and coordinating with me from beginning of trip plan to end of the journey. Vishal was very much patience and very good in handling the customer and to achieve the customer utmost satisfaction and did it very well in my case. Not but not the least , TRAVEL TRIANGLE - My initial impression was bit mixed feeling to proceed with Travel Triangle for the trip (because I didnt approach through any referral, I just got it from Google with some positive reviews). But getting in touch through calls and and drafting my honeymoon plan with my travel agent Vishal my perspective is entire changed and fully satisfied. Definitely, I will consider Travel Triangle for my next International trip for sure. I am giving 5 out of 5 stars rating for the entire trip and especially for travel agent Vishal.

    One of the first things someone looks for while hiring an agent is TRUST TRUTH AND SINCERITY. I must point say Prashant and Rohit from HUB HOLIDAYS went an extra mile to give us COMFORT, CONFIDENCE and COMMITMENT. An expert in their domain, helped us all along. asking for changes including the ones
    even during the trips! They were up for the challenge and went an extra mile even at 4 am in the morning. I wish them best of luck and would recommend them to one n all. 11 on 10 from our side. Much appreciate all the effort ☺️☺️

They were always available on call and whatsapp even during the entire duration of the trip. I am sure even if I had self planned the trip it couldn’t
    have been better than this. Greece is a beautiful country and there are plenty things to explore. We had a mix of adventure, history and romantic destinations on our itinerary. In all it was a good trip. Athens to Mykonos cruise trip.
