Acropolis & Parthenon

We will visist Acropolis, where you will be able to see the iconic structures that make up this UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Parthenon, the Propylaea, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Other structures that you will see during the tour include the Propylea, which is a monumental entrance to the sacred area, and the Temple of Athena Nike, which was dedicated to the goddess of victory. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Erechtheion, which is famous for its Caryatides or Maidens, and is dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon.

Museum of Acropolis

After exploring the Acropolis, the tour continues at the nearby Acropolis Museum. Here, you will have the opportunity to see artifacts and exhibits from the Acropolis and other ancient sites in Athens. The museum is considered one of the best in Greece and houses a wide range of sculptures, pottery, and everyday objects from daily life in ancient Athens. Finally, the museum is built over an extensive archaeological site, and you will be able to see the excavations beneath through a transparent glass floor. This provides a unique opportunity to see the layers of history and civilization that have built up over the centuries in Athens. At the conclusion of the tour, you may choose to explore the historic Plaka district on your own. We highly recommend taking a leisurely walk through this charming neighborhood, where the essence of Greek culture comes alive. Its narrow, picturesque streets, lined with elegant neoclassical mansions, offer a perfect opportunity to experience the vibrant and authentic atmosphere of Athens.
