Never made it to Greece? Yearning for a bit of classical culture? Turn your staycation into a day trip to the West End/Vanderbilt area of Nashville and enjoy an exquisite replica of Athens’ crown jewel, the Parthenon (the only full-scale reproduction in the world). Inside there is an art museum that features a 42-foot statue of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, for whom the Parthenon was originally built, an exact replica of what it would have looked like in ancient times.
