What To Expect
Acropolis
The Acropolis hill (acro – edge, polis – city), so-called the “Sacred Rock” of Athens, is the most important site of the city and constitutes one of the most recognizable monuments of the world. It is the most significant reference point of ancient Greek culture, as well as the symbol of the city of Athens itself as it represents the apogee of artistic development in the 5th century BCE. During Perikles’ Golden Age, ancient Greek civilization was represented in an ideal way on the hill and some of the architectural masterpieces of the period were erected on its ground.
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 or Wingless Victory.

Manos, The Best Guide in Athens
EricS873,Dec 24, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Manos was an outstanding guide in Athens. He was funny, sharp, and a true student of history, he brought the city to life beyond the usual facts. Great conversations, real debates, and a lot of laughs. It felt more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than taking a tour. Our touring with him is certainly one of the highlights of our trip!
Awesome Tour, Awesome Guide...We loved every minute of it!!!

5.00Our Athens Acropolis Guided tour with Dmitrios as our guide was fantastic. Dmitrios was wonderful at expaining everything we were going to see. His knowldge about all of the ancient buildings and artifacts we were seeing was amazing. After visiting the Acropolis and the Agora, and a few other interesting sights like the Changing of the Guard in front of the Presidential Palace. Dmitrios took us to a few places to shop for several items that we wanted to purchase. He also took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch where we had a Greek Salad and Gyro that were absolutely delicious. Traffic is terrible in Athens but Dmitrios navigated the city like a true pro and got us every where that we wanted to go with time to spare. The sites were amazing and Dmitrios made it even better with his expert commentary. Book this tour with Dmitrios, you'll be glad you did!
Awesome Athens and Magical Manos !

5.00Tour was nice and informative. Need to wear a comfortable walking shoe or sneaker with good grips on the soles for walking on the rocks and marble ground. Walking up wasn’t too bad, the incline and stairs are gradual. It looks worse than it is. Although, going there is best in the early morning or before sunset, when it is cooler. It is hot here in the summer. Once reaching the top, you will have great views of the city and ruins.

5.00The driver Dios was exceptionally good. He was giving us heads up about each and every step of the way. He was polite, helpful and accommodating. He warned us about everything we should be careful about and was an excellent tour guide too. Highly commendable!

5.00Vasso is an archeologist. Can't get a better person for the job basically. She is fully experienced with the history of athens and went above and beyond when the head was too much and we had to delay our tour for a fre minutes until the temperature went down a bit and stayed a bit longer than the assigned 2 hours just to make sure we don't miss out on our tour. Sweetest person ever and a big Chris Martinez fan 💙 Thank you from Suzan and Aysen
