Acrópolis and Acrópolis Museum Tour

Our Acrópolis and Acrópolis Museum Tour will start at 08:00 on the southeast side, avoiding the main entrance which is always the most crowded. Our licensed tour guide will explain the most interesting legends of the archaeological site while we are visiting all the temples and monuments of the place.

See the Parthenon temple and the Propylaea. Be impressed by the Erechtheion and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Check out the stone carvings of the Caryatids and the Temple of Athena Nike. After the tour, you will have free time to stay longer and take as many photos as you like before starting the second part of our tour.

We'll meet right under the owl at the entrance to the new Acropolis museum at 10:55, to enter into one of the best museums in the world.

All the sculptural remains found in the archaeological campaigns carried out both in the Acropolis and on its southern slope are housed here. Our licensed guide will gradually unravel the most fascinating remains that have survived to this day.

You will be fascinated admiring the original Caryatids, an ornate window of the Erechtheion, the pediment of the first temple dedicated to Athena, etc.; you will be able to see the room prepared to house the friezes of the Parthenon with all the pieces that are already gathered on Greek soil; but above all, you will enjoy the exquisiteness of ancient Greek art.
