From Jaw-Dropping insights for seasoned Historians to amazing stories for junior Archaeologists, our experienced and considerate guide will pitch things appropriately to make the most of your valuable time. Start your tour journey with the Acropolis, taking in all of the incredible monuments & temples of the site. See the Theater of Dionysus the worlds oldest & consider how some of Ancient Greece’s most famous plays were first performed on its stage some 3000 years before. Continue to the 5-meter-thick defensive walls built not by the classical Greeks, but by their ancestors another thousand years before. Climb to the gigantic entrance, the Propylaea and learn how the sun would have glinted from the bronze spear tip of the gigantic statue of the Goddess Athena that once stood there, the last thing many of the sailors would have seen when leaving from Cape Sounion some 70km away to wars and trade in the ancient Mediterranean. Hear the secrets of the Temple of Nike, learn about the mythology of the Mystical Erechtheion & the struggle between the God Poseidon and Goddess Athena, and wonder at the stunning Parthenon a masterpiece of art and architecture. Among the panoramic views of Athens stretched out below take in the depth of time cultural & Historical significance with your guide before finally descending through the olive trees to view the Odeon of Herodes Atticus Theater, still in use each Summer, as you head towards the nearby Museum. The State-Of-The-Art New Acropolis Museum was built to house and preserve the most significant finds from the Acropolis but also presents a wealth of models, videos & interactive installations that together, compliment the Archaeological site & help achieve a complete understanding of the 'Golden age' of Classical Greece. Your guide will highlight all of the ‘must-see’ things and be on hand throughout to illuminate the context and answer all your curiosities about ancient Greek life. At the end of your tour, you are free to spend more time to pick up a souvenir at the Museum gift shop, or enjoy the Acropolis views from the café-restaurant and take a second look at the exhibits, or our guide will return you to the meeting point and help with any onward directions needed. Flexible booking options are also on hand too, so if you want to give the museum a miss & prefer to continue your adventure outdoors, you can just book for the Acropolis only, or combine the Acropolis with the site of the Ancient Agora, where philosophers taught, Democracy was born and home to the most complete remains of a classical Greek Temple still remaining.Includes
