Taking into account the country’s rich history and culture this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. The most famous of all is the new Acropolis Museum that lies on a hill below the Parthenon. The museum has received several awards already and set a record in its first two months of operation: according to the museum’s website it was visited in its first sixty days by 523,540 people (an average of 9,200 a day) from 180 different countries.
