In approximately three years, the Parthenon will possess a roof. It will not be the equivalent of the past glory, however archaeologists and technical experts have agreed to continue the work which started during the ‘30s, acquired a concrete form during the ‘50s and paused afterwards. The project will cover the west part of the monument and is considered complex because it requires sophisticated preparation works.

If you wish to take a stroll around the Acropolis and search for…details, the website www.acropolis-virtualtour.gr will do just that. Virtual tours are very common and helpful for us to understand what it must have been like in the past, but, at the same time, they offer the opportunity to see some "hidden spots," not easily revealed during regular guided tours.

Another website, www.ancientathens3d.com, offers the same possibilities, with information covering large historic periods spanning millennia (Mycenaean civilization 1,600 BC - Ottoman rule Greece 1453-1821).
