Demos was an awesome guide. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about his city. He showed us and explained parts of the acropolis that we may have just waked past or missed if going on our own. The skip the line ticket was a big time saver, made entry for our small group very easy. With help from Demos, we were really able to appreciate the history of the 2500 year old architectural masterpiece.

The amazing display of work and how they were able to piece together some of the damaged pieces so you could see a completed work. The space was also incredible. Enjoyed every minute.

It was a bit overcrowded and the cloak/entrance waiting time was long. For some reason, one guy told me to put my bag in the cloak half way between my tour so I had to go to the cloak, check my bag in, tried to come back in but the ticket no longer worked

The museum was amazing, the only issue was while our tickets said it was open until 8pm (and purchased late yesterday), it in fact closed at 3 pm something we were only told about at 2:45 as we were hearded out. We would certainly have liked to spend more time there.

Your Experience

Opened in 2007, the Athens Acropolis Museum has one of the largest collections of fascinating Greek artifacts and sculptures that were housed in the Parthenon. The primary highlight is the cavernous excavation site below the museum. Believed to be an active neighborhood consisting of sea streets, houses, and shops from around 3000 BC to the 12th century A.D., the site is a highly unique exhibit.

There are four main galleries in the museum, and you have access to all of them! The Gallery of the Slopes of the Acropolis contains objects of everyday life used over the centuries. The Archaic Gallery houses some of the oldest findings dating back to the 7th century B.C. The Parthenon Gallery features a video presentation of the Parthenon and how it was designed and built. The final gallery contains a wide variety of fabulous artifacts including the coffered ceiling of the Propylaea and sculptures from the Temple of Athena Nike. You can also spot a range of amazing portraits depicting philosophers and historical figures. If you so choose, you can learn more about these wonderful artefacts and the museum with the help of an engaging audio guide.
