Acropolis & Parthenon
Your journey through ancient Greece begins at the Acropolis. This magnificent citadel, perched high above Athens, is home to iconic structures such as the Parthenon, the temple of Athena Nike, and the Propylaea. Discover the story of these legendary sites at your own pace through a multilingual audio guide.
After exploring the Acropolis, descend into the charming district of Plaka. Wander through Anafiotika, its topmost neighborhood, where tranquil alleys reveal whitewashed mansions adorned with carved doors and colorful shutters. Discover hidden gems and breathtaking views, and uncover secrets known to a few Athenians with your audio guide in English.
Acropolis Museum
Your exploration continues at the Acropolis Museum, where you can delve deeper into the rich heritage of ancient Greece. This modern museum houses an impressive collection of Greek artifacts, many of which were found at the Acropolis itself. Marvel at ancient sculptures, admire fascinating artifacts from everyday Greek life and explore an underground excavation site that was once a bustling Athenian neighborhood.
The Acropolis Hills and the Acropolis Museum complement each other beautifully, while the hills offer a direct link to the ancient world, the museum enriches understanding with its extensive collections and exhibitions.
