It’s here visitors will find the heavily photographed Parthenon, which initially served as the central house of worship for the city’s patron Olympian Athena. If you're visiting Athens on a budget, viewing the Acropolis is one of the things that you can do for free, but, if you can, you'll learn more about it and other significant structures such as the Theatre of Dionysus and the Temple of Athena Nike if you take a tour of the Acropolis.

As Greece’s premier airport, ATH also serves as a hub for most Greek-based airlines like Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air as well as the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair.

Luggage storage near the Temple of Olympian Zeus

Although the Temple of Olympian Zeus might not be as famous as the Parthenon, it’s certainly worth a visit on your Athenian journey. Once you step on this temple’s grounds, you will get a sense of the incredible scale of this project. Believe it or not, it took roughly 600 years to complete this temple to the thunder-wielding god. When it was completed, many believed the Temple to Zeus was the largest of its kind with its roughly 100 imposing columns. Unfortunately, the temple was severely damaged after the collapse of the Roman Empire, so there are only about 16 original pillars now standing. Still, it’s a pretty awesome experience to walk on the former temple’s grounds and imagine all of the history in the area.

Let’s be honest, nobody wants travel pics with loads of luggage. Consider working with one of Bounce’s many partners around the Temple of Olympian Zeus before your visit. We promise to take good care of your bags as you’re snapping your special selfies.
