What To Expect
Acropolis
Sightseeing in Athens starts with the hill of Acropolis which will make your day. On the historical hill, you will have the opportunity to see the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of the Athena Nike, the monumental gateway (Propylaea), the Erechtheum and of course the famous Parthenon, the main temple dedicated to the virgin goddess Athena.
Propylaea
The Propylaea is the monumental entrances to the sacred area dedicated to Athena, the patron goddess of the city. Built by the architect Mnesicles with Pentelic marble, their design was avant-garde. To the south-west of the Propylaea, on a rampart protecting the main entrance to the Acropolis, is the Ionian temple of Apteros Nike.

5.00Our tour guide, Stephanos, was so personable, knowledgeable and funny! We learned all about the history of Greece, Athens, the Acropolis, and saw many sites including the changing of the guards (that was a treat!) He was very accommodating for our group.

5.00Was such an amazing tour and our guide Stephanos was the best! He was very knowledgeable and could answer all of our questions with a little humour! No selfies with him because he was more than helpful to document everything and take photos of us! Everything was perfectly timed and 4 hours was all you need!

Our guide Nico was fantastic - he fashioned the tour to our schedule, made sure we saw the sites we wanted, and put us in the best places to see them.
