Acropolis walking tour.

Walking tour of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece during the July heatwave.
The Acropolis of Athens
is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens, Greece, and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city").The term acropolis is generic, and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times, the Acropolis of Athens was also known more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.
The Acropolis is located on a flattish-topped rock that rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens, with a surface area of about 3 ha (7.4 acres). While the earliest artefacts date to the Middle Neolithic era, there have been documented habitations in Attica from the Early Neolithic period (6th millennium BC).

We are being told in the UK that everyone in Greece is dying because of the heatwave !!
Have you got forest fires there??

[@Walking777]

Yes, there have been many wildfires throughout Greece during this past week, including the Kallithea wildfire - near Loutraki, the town in which we are staying. However, this fire is in high grounds and not the town itself. We saw many burned down trees/ruins on our coach journey from Athens and I believe some of the fires throughout Greece still continue to burn.
