Description

Take a Step Into History: Discover one of the Top Museums in the World Meet with our hosting team at the fixed meeting point 15 minutes prior to your scheduled tour starting time, in order to get all the necessary admission tickets and join your guide and group. You will then be led to the Acropolis Museum, a modern structure strategically placed to provide visitors with a direct view of the iconic archeological site and one of the main cultural landmarks of Athens. As you explore, you will be guided through collections and galleries encompassing different epochs of ancient Greek history, including the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, enriched by a dive into Greek mythology. Highlights feature the Parthenon Marbles, architectural remnants, statues, pottery, and other significant archaeological treasures. Explore the Number 1 Sight of Athens with Us: Make Your Way to the Acropolis The sun will be on its way down once you exit the Museum and, after a short refreshment break, make your way to the Acropolis, entering through the south slope. Your knowledgeable guide will unveil the rich tapestry of history and mythology that envelops the numerous monuments you encounter along your route, including the Dionysus Theater, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Asclepius Sanctuary, the Temple of Athena Nike and, of course, the Parthenon! Among others, you will get to hear about the origins of theater, the power play between two gods over the protection of the city of Athens, as well as the ancient hospitals and their curiously procured remedies.
