What To Expect
Acropolis
The Acropolis of Athens (Ancient Greek: ἡ Ἀκρόπολις τῶν Ἀθηνῶν, romanized: hē Akropolis tōn Athēnōn; Modern Greek: Ακρόπολη Αθηνών, romanized: Akrópoli Athinón) is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens, Greece, and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.
Herod Atticus Odeon
The Odeon of Herodes Atticus is a stunning stone theater located on the southwest slope of the Acropolis in Athens. Built in 161 AD by the Roman senator Herodes Atticus in memory of his wife, it was originally covered with a wooden roof and could seat around 5,000 spectators. Still in use today for concerts and performances, it is one of the finest examples of ancient Roman theater architecture in Greece.

5.00It amazing to see what ancient civilizations could accomplish. Our guide, Hermes, was excellent, knowledgeable and very personable! We learned so much from him… just know that it is a long climb to the top, but he gave us many rest stops in between. We also did the Agora and Museum which is really interesting as well. Thanks Hermes for a great tour!
Awesome tour with Elaina

4.00Having visited Athens, it is important we visit Acropolis and Parthenon. It is more of ancient ruins being brought up painstakingly for public to visit. Walk is a good exercise but for able bodied, it is not a strain. Will I do it again, doubt it.
Elena Should do stand up
