The Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Gate
Last Updated: Jun. 10, 2009
At the foot of the Acropolis in Athens is the Temple of Zeus, originally dedicated to the leader of the Ancient Gods of Greece, was not completed until the rule of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (also responsible for the Pantheon, among others, in Rome and Hadrian’s wall in Scotland). All that remains of the Temple are a few columns and the gate is a crumbling ruin, they are still impressive ancient sites.

This is a FANTASTIC tour for a city person. The shopping, dining, nightlife, and cultural opportunities are limitless as each city seems to outshine the last.
The trolley tour of Boston, offered as an optional, is the best way to see the entire city. Take it at your own pace, but I would suggest stopping off at the USS Constitution and Fenway.
