Description - What to expect

Embark on a captivating Acropolis guided tour that begins at the iconic Acropolis hill. As you ascend, you’ll explore the Theater of Dionysus, the birthplace of ancient Greek drama and tragedy. Continue your walk through history with a stop at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, still used for performances today, and the Sanctuary of Asclepius, dedicated to the god of healing.

At the summit, your expert guide will lead you through the most celebrated monuments of ancient Athens: the Propylea, the elegant Temple of Athena Nike, the mysterious Erechtheion with its famous Caryatids, and the crown jewel of the Acropolis — the Parthenon, the enduring symbol of democracy and Western civilization. Dating back to the 5th century B.C., these timeless structures reflect the glory of ancient Athens during the Golden Age of Pericles.

After this enriching Acropolis tour, enjoy a short break before continuing to the Acropolis Museum, just a short walk from the archaeological site.

The museum visit is an integral part of your Acropolis guided tour, offering deeper insights into daily Athenian life through artifacts displayed on the ground floor — including ancient wedding customs, children's toys, medical tools, and religious rituals. On the first floor, you'll come face-to-face with the archaic statues of the 6th century B.C., and walk beside the original Caryatids and monumental architectural fragments from the Acropolis entrance.

Conclude your tour on the top floor, where panoramic views of the Acropolis accompany the stunning Parthenon frieze — a masterpiece of classical art and a true highlight of any Acropolis visit.
