Itinerary
Acropolis
1 hours 30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedJoin a small-group walking tour of the Acropolis and explore one of the most iconic sites of the ancient world with an expert local guide. Designed to avoid the crowds and long lines, this experience allows you to focus on the history, architecture, and stories that shaped classical Greece. With pre-reserved tickets, you’ll skip the queues and begin your visit smoothly, uncovering the meaning behind the Acropolis and its monuments as you walk through the heart of ancient Athens.Parthenon
30 minsAdmission Ticket IncludedStep into the heart of ancient Athens with a guided visit to the Parthenon, the crowning monument of the Acropolis. Dedicated to Athena, the city’s patron goddess, this extraordinary temple embodies the ideals, ambition, and artistic brilliance of Athens at its golden age. As you explore the site, your expert guide reveals how the Parthenon was designed, built, and used, and why it came to symbolize democracy, power, and cultural achievement. Through stories, architectural details, and historical context, the monument comes alive as far more than a ruin—it becomes a window into the world that shaped Western civilization.Propylaea(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreePass through the Propylaea, the monumental gateway that once marked the ceremonial entrance to the Acropolis. Designed to impress and prepare visitors for the sacred spaces beyond, this grand structure set the tone for religious festivals and processions in ancient Athens. As you explore its marble columns and architectural details, your expert guide explains the Propylaea’s role in Athenian ritual life and how its design reflected the city’s power, order, and artistic ambition.Erechtheion(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeAdmire the refined marble craftsmanship of the Erechtheion, a unique temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. Known for its elegant columns and distinctive design, this sacred site is deeply rooted in Athenian mythology. As you explore, your expert guide brings its stories to life—explaining the legendary contest between Athena and Poseidon, the temple’s religious role, and why the Erechtheion held such special significance within the ancient city.Temple of Athena Nike(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeDiscover the lesser-visited temples on the north side of the Acropolis, areas many visitors overlook. As you walk among these ancient sanctuaries, learn about the early Athenian cults and the worship of the Olympian gods, gaining a deeper understanding of the site’s religious life. Take a moment to pause and reflect after your visit, enjoying a quieter perspective of the Acropolis away from the main crowds.Theater of Dionysus(Pass by)
Admission Ticket FreeAfter your guided tour, you may choose to remain on the Acropolis and continue exploring independently, taking in sweeping views over Athens and, on clear days, all the way to the Aegean Sea. Alternatively, follow your guide along a different route toward the south exit, passing the Sanctuary of Asclepius and the Theater of Dionysus—widely considered the birthplace of theatrical drama—before concluding the experience.

Fantastic experience. Further enhanced by the narration by tour guide, Betty. English was not first language of one of our party who had no problem understanding her as well. Was also very patient with all the photo taking while still moving the tour along. Thanks Betty.
It’s great 👍 Anna did a good job
