Acropolis Museum
The overall scale and form of the Acropolis Museum are largely determined by its own exhibits, particularly its rich collection of architectural sculptures, including large pediments from archaic temples, votive statues, and the diverse sculptural decorations of the Parthenon. To display these sculptures, the museum designed a rectangular gallery of at least 3,200 square meters, whose shape and proportions echo those of the ancient temple itself. On the other hand, the museum's foundation had to be carefully modified to accommodate the ancient architectural remains unearthed through systematic excavations of the building site. Close collaboration between architects and archaeologists ultimately led to a suitable solution, determining the final positions of the museum's foundation pillars without damaging the surrounding artifacts. The ongoing archaeological excavations were conceived as a large-scale exhibition and integrated into the museum. Additionally, a plan was developed to display the most significant unearthed artifacts within the archaeological site. The museum's architectural design boldly employs highly transparent glass curtain walls, aiming to establish direct visual connections between the exhibits, the rock itself, and the Acropolis ruins where the museum's artifacts originated. At the same time, it allows visitors to enjoy panoramic views of Attica's historic hills and mountains, as well as the contemporary urban environment. Similarly, the glass floors inside the museum integrate the archaeological excavation areas below into the exhibition halls. In this way, the museum avoids being disconnected from its surroundings and instead becomes an extension of the environment, reinforcing its intrinsic connection with the ancient Athens view. The museum exhibition areas are divided by terrain and theme. The first floor features large exhibition halls with ramps equipped with glass floors, replicating the slope of the Acropolis hill and displaying archaeological artifacts unearthed here. Ascending to the second floor, visitors are greeted by high ceilings and skylights, where artifacts related to the Athens Acropolis are showcased. The western exhibition area displays sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike and the Erechtheion, as well as architectural components of the Propylaea. The second-floor hall is dedicated to the sculptures of the Parthenon. Returning to the north wing of the second floor, visitors find the final exhibition space, featuring artworks from the 5th century BC to the end of the classical period.Greece · Athens
Delphi Archaeological Site
The ruins of Delphi are religious sites in the classical period of Greece. The ruins are located in the foothills of Parnassos, northwest of Athens. They are named after the Delphi people who lived there. Founded in the 7th century BC, it was considered the center of the world in ancient Greece, the religious center and a symbol of unity in ancient Greece. Delphi is the more important temple in all the Greek places, because this temple is dedicated to the sun god Apollo, the god of knowledge, light, music and medicine in the ancient Greek beliefs. There are also an open-air theater and a holy road in the ruins area. On both sides of the holy road, there are gift vaults, altars, monuments, colonnades, etc. built by the Greek states to worship the gods. Archaeological excavations of the Delphi site system started in 1892, and all the ancient buildings in the temple area have been cleared and a museum has been built.Phocis · 54.5 km from Agios Sostis

The ruins of Ancient Delphi are on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Walk into the ruins, walk up the stone steps to the ruins, stand in front of the ruins, and look out at the mountains in the distance. This is the center of the earth.

This was taken on the Acropolis: Temple of Victory (Figure 3), Parthenon (Figure 5. Still under renovation), Erechtheion (Figures 4 and 5), Dionysus Theatre, Atticus Theatre. The guided tour I bought a day in advance was very good. We set off at 5pm, just as the sun was about to set. It was not hot at all, and there were not many tourists. The tour guide was a historian, and the content he introduced along the way was very detailed. Including the story behind the construction of the Acropolis Museum, the trees on the Acropolis Hill, the Acropolis has experienced several disasters and historical changes, Athens' efforts in the field of international recovery of cultural relics (to the British Museum), the story of Dionysus, the god of medicine, the goddess of war, the goddess of wisdom, and the three main gods Poseidon. Another surprise is that there are so many cats in the Acropolis! They are the only guests who can enter and exit the temple at will. The staff will regularly put cat food for the stray cats.

It was cheaper to purchase the tickets at the location, it also came with free audio tours. If you need Chinese I am sure this app offered it but if English or another European language was okay it was better to do it in the museum. Upside museum itself was wonderful and pre bought tickets shipped the line!
