By the beard of Zeus! Here's a real treat for lovers of the classical world. Built to honor the king of Olympus and god of thunder, the Temple of Olympian Zeus stands in the grand pantheon of Athens' mind-blowing ancient wonders. Once a humongous temple home to one of the largest cult statues of antiquity, these ruins are a shadow of their former glory but remain an essential experience. Grab a ticket, and watch as it arrives like a lightning bolt onto your phone!
