• This is the afternoon view of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Notice the flag of Greece waving on the summit. The Cradle of Civilization. This site has a great view of the Acropolis with a partial view of the Parthenon. There are other webcams with a better view of the Parthenon ( Parthenon Live ) but this webcam is just about the closest. My main criticism of this cam is that too much of the scene is taken up by the street view ( unless the purpose is to show how the Acropolis is right next to the homes of the common Athenian). On the other hand, it *is* interesting to see how something as important to Civilization as the Acropolis is just another park in an urban area on this planet. It also conveys to me that ancient Greeks were just like people today. (sort of) :-)
