Further information
Meet your guide at the Acropolis metro station and start the tour with a visit to the Acropolis hill.
On your way up, you will visit the Dionysus Theater, where all the famous ancient dramas and tragedies were first performed. You will walk around the stunning Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and the sanctuary of the healing god Asclepius. On the top of the hill you will visit the Propylea, the Temple of Nike, the Erechtheion Temple, and of course the Parthenon; the symbol of democracy and western civilization. Dating back to 5th century B.C, these monuments are testimonials of the glorious ancient Athens and the Golden Age of Pericles.
Right after the Acropolis tour you will have the opportunity to visit the New Acropolis Museum located just a few minutes walk from the Acropolis site, a modern marvel in the heart of Athens. Designed by architects Fotiadis and Shumin, this glass masterpiece houses the treasures of ancient Greece. From the ground floor's glimpses into daily life to the first floor's captivating original Caryatids (the five of them. The sixth stands in the British Museum), and culminating on the top floor with the Parthenon frieze and a recreation of Parthenon, each moment is a brushstroke of history. Immerse yourself in a journey that transcends time, where the legacy of Athens unfolds against a backdrop of architectural splendor. Don't miss the chance to be captivated by the allure of classical antiquity – the New Acropolis Museum awaits your exploration.
