Full Description
Travel back to ancient Athens on a guided tour of the Acropolis, led by a licensed expert who brings history, mythology, and storytelling to life. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage site and uncover its most iconic landmarks, including the Theater of Dionysus, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the Sanctuary of Asclepius. At the summit, admire the Propylaea, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion, and the world-famous Parthenon—enduring symbols of democracy and the Golden Age of Athens.
After a short break, continue to the acclaimed Acropolis Museum, considered one of the finest museums in the world. Designed by architects Fotiadis and Tschumi, its modern glass structure showcases ancient treasures with natural light. Walk over glass floors revealing ongoing excavations, admire the original Caryatids, and explore the Parthenon Gallery, where the frieze is displayed with stunning views of the Acropolis above.
This combined tour offers an inspiring journey through classical antiquity, blending archaeological wonders with engaging storytelling for a deeper understanding of Athens’ rich cultural legacy.
