Your experience

Avoid the crowds and explore Athens' ancient wonders with a small group, where a licensed expert will guide you through each landmark, offering personalized insights along the way.

Getting started

Meet your guide at the Acropolis entrance 15 minutes before the tour begins. After a quick introduction and ticket validation, start your journey through the ancient monuments.

Athena’s masterpiece

Start your exploration at the Parthenon, the Acropolis’ crowning jewel. Hear how this iconic temple, dedicated to Athena, was built in just eight years and became a symbol of Athens' power, with its frieze and sculptures celebrating the city’s victories and glory.

Victory in stone

Next, head to the Temple of Athena Nike, perched on the southwest corner of the Acropolis. This small but stunning temple commemorates the Athenian victories over Persia. Your guide will share how the Athenians celebrated military success with rituals and offerings, and explain how the temple’s design symbolizes victory without war.

Where myths meet architecture

Continue to the Erechtheion, famous for its asymmetrical design and the elegant Caryatids—sculpted maidens who act as columns. Your guide will explain the rich mythology behind the site, where gods and mortals once interacted. Hear the myth of Poseidon and Athena’s rivalry for the city, and how the sacred olive tree was said to have been planted here.

The gateway to the sacred Hill

As you approach the Propylaea, the monumental gateway to the Acropolis, your guide will reveal how this grand entrance was once a symbol of the city’s wealth and grandeur. Learn how the Propylaea’s design reflects the importance of Athens as a cultural and political hub in ancient Greece.

Pets are not permitted, except for certified service animals.
