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 wili see the Erechtheion with the famous Karyatidis and the Propylaea.
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.

5.00We booked a half-day tour and at least 4 transfers between airport, hotel, and ship. Marina was there every step of the way to provide information, answer any questions and accommodate changes. Our tour guide was very flexible and brought us to the best places for photos and exploring the great places in Athens. Our transfer driver was professional and super helpful each time. We will definitely book all our ground transportation needs and tours in Athens through this company in the future!
