Description

The tour will start in the afternoon from the new Acropolis Museum where you will admire sculptural creations that, together with the enchanting narratives of the guide, will bring to life before your eyes all aspects of the daily life of ancient Athens. On the top floor of the Museum you will be amazed by the unique beauty of the Parthenon frieze along with a breathtaking view of the Acropolis rock with the Parthenon. Then when the high temperature from the hot summer heat and the crowds of people on the Acropolis Rock will begin to decrease a little, we will begin the ascent to it. We will meet the famous theater of Dionysus, cross the monumental Propylaia and enter the main area of the Acropolis with the Parthenon, the temple of Nike and the Erechtheion with the famous Caryatids. You will have the opportunity, as the sun begins to set, to enjoy a magical panoramic view of the entire city of Athens.
