It was a relatively easy day, not too crowded, besides the weather was very comfortable. The guide Dimitris was very knowledgeable, kind and patient with the process and had much passion to explain the history and important remarks of the site and its monuments. Totally recommend!

She was charming and likable. Had a lot of knowledge about the history of the site and the artefacts. Spoke a little fast and with a bit of an accent, which made it challenging to catch everything she said.

Your experience

Discover Acropolis

Your adventure begins with an entry to the Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Led by a licensed guide, you'll ascend the slopes, passing the Theatre of Dionysus, one of the oldest theaters in the world. Reaching the summit, prepare to be awestruck by the architectural marvels – the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom; the Propylaea, the grand entrance gate; and the Erechtheion, famed for its Caryatid maidens. Your expert guide will bring these monuments to life, sharing their fascinating stories and architectural significance.

Go deeper into ancient history

After soaking in the breathtaking views, descend the Acropolis and head to the awe-inspiring Acropolis Museum. Here, with your guide, explore the captivating displays of artifacts unearthed from the Acropolis itself. Marvel at everyday objects, and breathtaking sculptures, and learn how these pieces fit into the grand narrative of Athenian history. The museum's modern design, with glass floor sections revealing the archaeological site beneath, adds another layer of intrigue. Opt for the early morning tour to avoid the crowds and experience the Acropolis bathed in the soft glow of the morning sun.
