What To Expect
Acropolis
The Acropolis of Athens is a rocky hill 156 meters above sea level and approximately 70 meters above the level of the city of Athens. The Parthenon is a temple built in honor of the goddess Athena, patroness of the city of Athens. Τhe architects who worked were Iktinos, Kallikratis, and possibly Phidias (5th century BC). Finally, we will see the Erechtheion with the famous Karyatidis and the Propylaea.
Parthenon
The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Its construction began in 447 BC and was completed in 438 BC, although decorations of the Parthenon continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered to be the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art.

Amazing Tour of Athens in 1 Day

5.00Andreas was a great guide. He took us to all top attractions & gave us a great tour of the city. He waited for us to tour the Acropolis & Acropolis museum and drove by landmarks and dropped us off at other sites we requested. He would patiently wait until we would text him to pick us up. He spoke perfect English.

5.00My husband and I took a cruise and one of the stops was Athens. Luckily I was able to find out about Andreas through a friend. We had a phenomenal experience. He took us practically everywhere. I don’t think you would get a better tour than his . Super well educated in Greek history and super nice. I recommend this to anyone looking to see Athens .
