The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel high on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens. While the elevation of the Acropolis served as an excellent line of defence from invaders, it can be absolute hell for people beginning to get uric acid buildup on their feet.

The Acropolis is open all year round except on public holidays and has several amenities for people suffering from the early onset of gout. As anyone with walking difficulties will know, it is crucial to ensure that public toilets are close by, as walking quickly is often tricky with swollen and sometimes tender feet.

You will find toilets next to the Dionysus Theater, built in the mid-to-late sixth century BC and could hold an audience of up to 25,000 people.

For those of you suffering from swollen feet, you can buy bags of ice cubes from the nearby convenience store. The store is situated near the elevator, which can be used to reach the top of the Acropolis should you have a sudden attack of severe pain in your big toe.

Once inside the Acropolis, you will find ancient architecture of the highest standard, with the remains of roughly twenty buildings. While many are now very run down the Parthenon, the iconic temple to the Goddess Athena offers plenty of shade from the sun if you are looking for somewhere to apply any cream to swollen ankles or toes.
