Description

Enjoy the privileges of a private tour to visit the Acropolis and the iconic Parthenon led by an expert guide. Benefit from our pre-reserved tickets at the site and head in faster. Venture through the legendary Acropolis, following your guide as they unravel the myths and legends of ancient Athens. Visit the most important buildings visible on the Acropolis today: the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Stop to take in the stunning views over Athens from a commanding point of this ancient citadel and see how the city has developed over nearly 3,000 years. Continue your private tour with a leisurely downhill walk into the hidden gem of Anafiotika. Transport to a little island within the metropolis, where white cubic houses, flat roofs, and colorful shutters evoke the essence of Cycladic architecture. Built-in the 19th century by workers from the island of Anafi, Anafiotika remains a testament to the city's cultural diversity. Escape the bustling crowds of Plaka and savor unique views of the Athenian jungle and the Lycabettus hill. Meander through the narrow, bougainvillea-lined streets of Anafiotika, and conclude your delightful walk with a traditional Greek coffee. Your local guide will generously provide references and recommendations, empowering you to continue exploring independently after the tour.
