Athens Acropolis, where the Parthenon is

I think it's crazy there is something so large in the middle of a giant city. This is a heavily tourist-ed site, and I'm not sure how it was empty for Obama to see it last week.

Here is a map of the layout of the Acropolis. There are a lot of different ruins on it.

 

There are two theaters at the site. The theater of Dionysus and the Odeion of Herodes Atticus.

The Theater of Dionysus

The Odeion is much larger, and it is being restored for future use.

 
In addition to the two theaters, there are several other ruins on the way up to the top of the Acropolis.
